- W647546993 abstract "A Review of How People Harness Their Collective Wisdom and Power to Construct the Future in Co-Laboratories of Demoncracy written by Alexander N. Christakis & Kenneth C. Bausch reviewed by Shaun Coffey published by Information Age Publishing ISBN 9781593114817 (2006) This book outlines a process that gives foice to the people in complex social iituations. It describes the 30 years of development and practice that has produced a highly structured and disciplined process of dialogue process that engages stakeholders in participative democracy. The book is an excellent contribution for those interested in learning about the art and science of dialogue. A key strength is that it is simultaneously a theory text and a practice manual - the theory is highly relevant and the practice eminently useful. The structured design process (SDP) has been developed for use in situation that are highly complex, and in which many stakeholders have an interest. In these situations participants are engaged in creating meaning and determining action through communication and collaboration. The authors contend that dialogue is difficult in such circumstances, and that the only way to overcome the difficulty is through an adequate methodology. Early in the book (chapter 2) the author's contextualize their work in participative democracy. We all want to be heard. We all need to be heard. In healthy families and highperformance work teams each member's autonomy is honoured and their contribution is heard. Participative democracy is necessary if a personal and organizational health. SDP enables people to participate in finding solutions to complex problems affecting the quality of their lives independent of the discipline, experience, or educational backgrounds. The process has numerous stages, and step and requires an ongoing, disciplined commitment from participants to make possible effective participation. On first reading the book is dense in definitions and concepts and rule and guidelines. Superficially it could be dismissed as being too highly structured and unnecessarily prescriptive. That, however, is the nature of the topic. The authors present a compelling argument for the necessity of discipline to enable meaningful dialogue. And without meaningful dialogue collective wisdom cannot be surfaced and harnessed to construct the future. The book is organized in five parts, starting with a discussion of the abolition of dialogue as a basis of democracy. Part II of How People Harness Their Collective Wisdom and Power to Construct the Future in Co-Laboratories of Democracy details in seven chapters the architecture of SDP - the definitions and methods and concepts and rules that make it work - all outlined in a clear and accessible manner. Readers will be richly rewarded in wading through them, and reflecting on their application. The third part of the book gives worked examples (co-laboratories) of SDP in action, and is a highlight of the book. …" @default.
