Abstract

Once upon a time, there were two creative, intelligent, staff development educators who worked in a large hospital in Dayton, Ohio, and who wanted to tell a story about how to share performance improvement initiatives with others. To narrate their story, they used a problem-solving method, a coordinating theme, bright colors, graphics, clip art, photography, data collection, and a board to display their story for "The Fundamentals of Storyboarding." A properly designed poster/storyboard can successfully attract attention, stimulate interest, and impart information. Poster presentations are effective tools for educators to share their knowledge and expertise as well as demonstrate performance-improvement initiatives in their organization. Join these storytellers as they open their book and present the chapters to help create a powerful poster presentation.
