Dialogic Design Science: Difference between revisions

The theory comprises primarily of understanding the [[Laws of Dialogic Design Science]], the roles of various actors, and certain key scientific process and phenomena including the [[Interpretive Structural Modeling]] algorithm, [[Erroneous Priorities Effect]], [[Spreadthink]], [[Situational Complexity]], Theory of Change, etc.

The [[Structured Democratic Dialogue Process]] is grounded on the theory and expects Facilitators to fully comply with all requirements imposed by [[Dialogic Design Science]].

The first applications of DDS were conducted by the [[John N. Warfield]] group in the late 80s, early 90s. The methodology was then referred to as [[Interactive Management]] (IM). His [[Handbook of Interactive Management]] summarizes a few dozen of applications upon which the science was grounded, as well as individuals who at the time were certified to conduct IM workshops. [[Aleco Christakis]], an associate of both [[John N. Warfield]] and [[Hasan Özbekhan]] is credited for spreading the science and the methodology. The two books co-authored by him [[Ken Bausch]]<ref>[[How People Harness Their Collective Wisdom And Power to Construct the Future]]</ref> and [[Tom Flanagan]]<ref>[[The Talking Point: Creating an Environment for Exploring Complex Meaning]]</ref> also catalogue more than 100 applications conducted world-wide. [[Benjamin Broome]] also an associate of [[John N. Warfield| Warfield]] has introduced IM to the [[Cyprus Conflict Resolution Trainers Group]], or which several [[Future Worlds Center]] associates were members (i.e., [[Yiannis Laouris]], [[Harry Anastasiou]], [[Marios Michaelides]]). The [[Cyprus Conflict Resolution Trainers Group]] conducted at least 50 IM applications between 1995-2002. [[Future Worlds Center]] introduced the methodology in many of its projects in 2005.
