The ABCs of the science of structured dialogic design
|
Abstract
The paper exemplifies why the capacity of a community of stakeholders to implement a plan of action effectively depends strongly on the true engagement of the stakeholders in designing it and that disregarding their participation is not only unethical, but also any plans made are bound to fail (Law of Requisite Action). As a layman’s introduction to the science of structured dialogic design, the author uses a helicopter view of the organisation of an interactive workshop to highlight limitations of present-day implementations of dialogues and introduces the reader to the concepts of Spreadthink, Groupthink, erroneous priorities, laws and axioms of the science.
