Structured Dialogic Design (SDD)

SDD is a dialogue and decision-making methodology. SDD enables people to listen to each other on issues of common concern, going beyond what they think is important, to find the deep drivers that dynamically influence their situation. Armed with the knowledge of what is really driving their situation, they devise action plans with enthusiasm and commit to working together in carrying them out.

SDD encourages innovation and is very effective in resolving multiple conflicts of purpose and values and in generating consensus on organizational, inter-organizational strategy and projects.

Also, SDD efficiently enables democratic redesign of socio-organizational systems and practices based upon a dialogic process that consolidates power relationships into consensus agreement for effective cross-functional collaborative action.

So, using Structured Dialogic Design (SDD) as a systemic tool, we can better manage project stakeholders. More specifically we can advance stakeholder engagement, stakeholder management and stakeholder decision making for improving project delivery results.
