Storytelling and Screenwriting

I was recently introduced to a book: Save the Cat! The Last Book on Screenwriting You'll Ever Need, by Blake Snyder.  Which led me to some questions.  Have recently been looking at storytelling techniques to facilitate executive decision interviews.  Is there a way to convert an acquired story into a screenplay?  Looking at a screenplay as a call to action rather than a record of the history of what occurred.     Gather stories, record them effectively, convert them into decisive plans.   Thoughts? Interest in collaborating?
