Action Plan from David Boje and Grace Ann Rosile for the 50^th SEAM Anniversary event.  We base PERVIEW SocioEconomic Consulting and Coaching on:  Henri Savall, Veronique Zardet, Marc Bonnet, and Amandine Savall's (2024) “Presentation of SEAM and Opening Up on Storytelling Approaches” Pp. 3-30 in David Boje (Editor-in-Chief) & Amandine Savall (Vol. 5 Editor) “Business Storytelling of Socioeconomics” London: World Scientific Publishing Co., Ltd. 

“The cloverleaf of SEAM reflects the narrative of structures, behaviors, dysfunctions, and hidden costs. Indeed, behind each petal of the trefoil, people can express themselves… everyone tells their ‘stories’ through the different axes and devices of the tetrahedron” (IBID. p. 3).

50% of the costs are ‘hidden’ from the accounting reports (IBID. p.5). Another 40% is below the Trauma Memories and Stuck Thoughts recoverable by story coaching.

Story coaching interventions address the three epistemological pillars of SEAM: cognitive interactivity, contradictory subjectivity, and generic contingency (IBID, p. 6).

“… ‘Storytelling’ is necessary but not sufficient to elaborate a relevant representation of the object under study” IIBID., p. 25). 

This is why Dr. David and Dr. Grace Ann are integrating SEAM Socioeconomic with what they call  ‘PERVIEW’ in 7 steps with ‘VIEW” Vibrations of embodiment, Internal thoughts & emotions, Energy rating metric  (1 to 10), and Wave collapse into choice through coaching questions. 

PERVIEW can help people in organizations achieve an extra layer of communication, coordination, and cooperation (3 C’s).  The intervenor-researchers can use to coach clients to release Trauma and Stuck Thoughts and get to the root cause masking the authentic self. The seven steps called ‘PER’, Processes of Embodied Restorying’ and ‘VIEW’ at each step.

“The creation of a symphonic ‘storytelling’ is born, which will generate an increase in performance. This implies that managers fully assume their role as managers of activities and people, i.e., as conductors, trainers, coaches, and leaders” (IBID. p. 28, emphasis ours).  More on the PERVIEW SocioEconomic is available at https://PerView.org

• SEAM Coaching Questions for Each PERVIEW Step with VIEW Protocol

  Each step below integrates SEAM diagnostic categories:

  • Working Conditions
  • Work Organization
  • 3 C’s: Communication, Coordination, Cooperation
  • Time Management
  • Integrated Training
  • Strategic Implementation

  ---

  STEP 1: Characterize

  Story the current dysfunctions and contradictions

  Vibrations of Embodiment (V):

  • What vibrations are felt in the workplace under current working conditions? Are they tense, sluggish, erratic?

  Internal Thoughts & Emotions (I):

  • What silent beliefs do workers hold about organizational dysfunctions?
  • What emotions arise when employees think of communication breakdowns or time pressure?

  Energy (E):

  • On a scale of 1–10, how much energy do individuals report when engaging with their daily tasks?

  Wave Collapse into Choice (W):

  • What coaching question helps the client choose a new way of sensing or narrating hidden costs?

  SEAM Coaching Questions:

  • What unspoken stories are present about unsafe or unhealthy working conditions?
  • How is the current work organization adding to confusion or redundancy?
  • Where do employees feel most cut off from the flow of communication or coordination?
  • What moments in the day drain energy most?
  • What is being ignored in time scheduling that masks real labor?

  ---

  STEP 2: Externalize

  Move the dysfunction outside the person, into systems and shared patterns

  V:

  • What shifts when people feel the problem is not “their fault” but embedded in a pattern?

  I:

  • How does separating self from dysfunction release fear or guilt?

  E:

  • Energy rating now—does externalizing offer relief or empowerment?

  W:

  • What new story becomes available once the dysfunction is depersonalized?

  SEAM Coaching Questions:

  • How have training gaps created predictable role strain or dysfunctions?
  • What role does policy (not personality) play in time mismanagement?
  • Where is poor coordination a structural—not individual—issue?
  • What system dynamics are driving the same failures across departments?

  ---

  STEP 3: Sympathize

  Deep listening and emotional attunement

  V:

  • What vibrations signal compassion or despair in team storytelling?

  I:

  • What old emotions are being surfaced and spoken aloud?

  E:

  • Energy level during sharing of stories—does expression bring fatigue or flow?

  W:

  • What new wave of emotional truth is choosing to emerge?

  SEAM Coaching Questions:

  • What do employees feel when asked to perform without adequate strategic direction?
  • How has communication fatigue (too many meetings, not enough clarity) impacted emotions?
  • What does the body say when given a chance to express the weight of dysfunction?
  • Which past efforts were never honored, and how has that affected morale?

  ---

  STEP 4: Revise

  Imagine and test revised narratives

  V:

  • What new vibrations are felt when imagining a more cooperative future?

  I:

  • What hopeful or creative thoughts are emerging?

  E:

  • Energy rating now—how charged do people feel about testing the new narrative?

  W:

  • What coaching question helps the client collapse the wave into a new embodied possibility?

  SEAM Coaching Questions:

  • What does a more humane and effective training system look like in story form?
  • What simple revision in time allocation might open space for wellbeing?
  • What would improved work organization feel like, moment to moment?
  • What one change in coordination could be tried this week?

  ---

  STEP 5: Strategize

  Craft actionable and embodied plans

  V:

  • What body-level sensations signal resonance or resistance to the plan?

  I:

  • Are internal thoughts aligned with readiness to act?

  E:

  • What is the collective energy score when preparing to implement?

  W:

  • What choices now feel sustainable?

  SEAM Coaching Questions:

  • What strategic implementation step can be tested immediately?
  • What rituals or rhythms support better time management?
  • How will integrated training be co-designed by the people doing the work?
  • What 3 C’s protocol (e.g., daily huddles) can boost coordination?

  ---

  STEP 6: Rehistoricize

  Embed the new story into a timeline of past, present, and future

  V:

  • What energetic echoes of past dysfunction are still in the field?

  I:

  • What old storylines can now be honored and released?

  E:

  • How does energy change when employees connect their story to the larger arc?

  W:

  • What historical moment (trauma, success, or betrayal) is ready to be retold?

  SEAM Coaching Questions:

  • What legacy beliefs about working conditions are no longer valid?
  • How did old ways of organizing work contribute to both success and stagnation?
  • What stories of past coordination failures are now being healed through new practices?
  • How is time and training being revalued through hindsight?

  ---

  STEP 7: Publicize

  Broadcast and embody the new cultural story

  V:

  • What vibration is emitted through stories now being shared publicly?

  I:

  • Do people feel proud, aligned, and connected to the new story?

  E:

  • What is the energy rating when storytelling to others?

  W:

  • What final choice affirms the transition from internal change to external impact?

  SEAM Coaching Questions:

  • What story do we now tell about strategic excellence?
  • What message do we want others to receive about our new training culture?
  • How do we perform better communication through voice, posture, and ritual?
  • What symbols (visuals, language, rituals) will transmit our new identity?
