In the “The 5 Ps of Microsoft’s Storytelling,” Steve Clayton, chief storyteller and GM of Microsoft’s innovation, culture and stories team, will share how Microsoft’s strategy around engagement across all of its products, platforms and business offerings relies on two pillars — Innovation and culture — and five Ps: People, Place, Pictures, Personal and Platform.
