Harold, I would go as far as saying that today 'narration is work'. It seems to me that is more about allowing spaces and structures so all this can be shared and collective meaning can emerge.

Since conversational practices have started replacing manual labour as the latter was replaced by automatic processes (in a way that you pointed in another article), conversation is our main work in organisations.
All Jane Hart's points are about people narrating their work. Conversation is today's work. We 'narrate our work' because, if we didn't, we would not be working.

So narration is there, but perhaps not always addressing the collective and certainly not shared as well as it could be.

Thanks again for your thoughts.
