- W1842750152 abstract "In any innovation project – even when tackling very specific issues and involving targeted communities – its designers (i.e. people planning and setting how something will be done, managed, communicated, shared, etc.) have to face complex foresight horizons due to unforeseen changes occurring in the space they are seeking to transform, and because of the transformations they induce with their actions (in this sense, any innovation is always directly and indirectly co-designed and co-produced, and can trigger cascades of transformations ). Given this uncertainty, it is almost impossible for any project team to exhaustively design a priori processes and actions able to encompass all the possible variations, as the emergence of new agents, attributions, artifacts and interaction modalities both influences and depends on constantly evolving interactions. Hence, we claim that the configuration of projects’ design itself should evolve and fold an ongoing evaluation in it - what we have called a Dynamic Evaluation (DE). DE theoretical assumptions are that agents respond to uncertain situations deciding with whom to interact on the basis of a perceived generative potential of relationships (Lane and Maxfield, 1995) and that their interactions are nothing than enacted narratives, i.e. actions constructed and undertaken discoursively (Czarniawska, 2004; Pentland, 1999), that are coherent with individual and collective narrative logics , and allow individuals to make sense out of what is happening. Therefore, narratives are not just a form of representing but also of constituting reality (Bruner, 1991), providing legitimacy and accountability for people’s actions. Nonetheless, they are not “enough” to drive changes: dominant discourses are inscribed in societal institutions, texts, settings, behaviors and material culture, giving them enormous advantages, whereby alternative discourses – even those oriented towards innovation – could remain marginalized (Witkin, 2010). Hence, the role narratives play is multifold: they are “thick” objects of analysis and tools that can enhance reflexivity by generating feedbacks loops that can nurture projects’ design and its progressive inclusiveness. Therefore, adopting a DE approach – which combines standard and non-standard approaches, and includes different kind of sources and perspectives – might contribute to tackle some intertwined issues by, for example, the extraction and encoding of dominant and emerging narratives, carried on together with the continous mapping of the space the project is seeking to transform e.g. by collecting information on the affected social groups, “all” the values involved and the “usable knowledge” available (Fareri, 2009) that could/should be fruitfully included. Such an approach, developed within the Emergence by Design project ( MD , GA 284625 FP7-ICT-2011-C founding scheme) is intended to support, and somehow design, the enhancement of collective capabilities (Sen, 1993) in distributed design and organizing so as to deal with the multiple perspectives, as well as the inherent variability, complexity and uncertainty which characterize this kind of projects. Last but not least, designing the governance of such a complex process is a nontrivial issue, therefore we will illustrate the first attempts to apply the Dynamic Evaluation approach to some local development case studies carried on during the MD project." @default.
