Structured Dialogic Design
Aleco Christakis facilitating structured dialogue in a Co-Laboratory of Dialogue.Dialogue differs from oration or storytelling or debate because if follows different "rules." In very small groups of two or three people we can easily fall into democratic patters of listening and speaking. With large groups and with complex subjects, more structure is needed. Early attempts to bring a formal approach to managing dialogue led to Robert's Rules of Order. These are very good rules for managing traffic, but more is needed to guide collective inquiry. Structured Dialogic Design represents an evolution of deep scholarly thinking and rigorous real world validation in a field of practice that now spans thirty years. The result is a truly modern breakthrough in dialogue management.
Architecture of Structured Dialogic Design (SDD or SDDP)
Structured Dialogic Design Process (SDDP) is a methodology with more than 30 years of philosophical and applied research involving contributions from literally hundreds of profound thinkers and effective practitioners.
The methodology had its origins in the need to involve people directly in systems design discussions based upon the experience of the Club of Rome early in the 1970s. Rising to address this need, the Battelle Memorial Institute developed first generation approaches for mapping complex issues representing divergent views of social systems stakeholders. From this early start, Dr. Christakis has consistently been a leader in the broad application of the methods to organizations and communities of many, many forms. His 30 year career with SDD has been summarized in the recent best selling book “How People Harness their Collective Wisdom and Power to Construct the Future in Co-Laboratories of Democracy”
"Dialogue is a way of observing, collectively, how hidden values and intentions can control our behavior, and how unnoticed cultural differences can clash without our realizing what is occurring. It can therefore be seen as an arena in which collective learning takes place and out of which a sense of increased harmony, fellowship and creativity can arise."

On slide
http://sunsite.utk.edu/FINS/loversofdemocracy/WISDOM.ppt#285,29,Interpretation of Influence Map I see you use sticky-dot voting AKA traditional dotmocracy. What do you think about using advanced dotmocracy sheets instead? See http://dotmocracy.org/ and for a comparison of sticker voting to advanced dotmocracy http://dotmocracy.org/compare_traditional Let me know your thoughts. I think SDDP is a very smart model that advanced dotmocracy could fit nicely into. cheers -jd |
