This book offers a practical, computer-aided way of facilitating dialogue between stakeholders who may have radically different initial views and frameworks for understanding issues of concern. It explains how a structured dialogue design process (SDD) is aimed at creating an environment where meaning can be collaboratively developed, while participants appreciate how their frameworks for understanding the world can be modified, extended, or replaced in order to create depth of insight into "the problem". | |||
The book is set out in accessible language for readers who are not familiar with the SDD process. Examples of cases where facilitators and design managers have worked with stakeholders to address issues are set out in detail. Examples include: working with children at risk of dropping out of school (USA); working with indigenous cultural groups such as Native Americans to design strategies for collaborating; and working in Cyprus on peace-building initiatives for the island.
