The main objective of the Structured Design Dialogue (SDD) technique is that we don't want the many or the few to decide on the rule of governance. We must define a method, technique or process were politics is comprised of both majority and minority views combined into a combined view or the overall will of the whole population. SDD looks to form a problem resolution approach where we learn to make decisions through group association representing all groups, members and associations within the population. One of the methods offered by the SDD is developing a shared language that differs from current forms of communication. The concept is that in order to bring together disparate groups, new methods of communication or languages must be created to broker new ways of discussing and hopefully solving problems that apply equally to all members of the group.
If we were to evaluate planning activities for technological change, as the diagram suggests we first need to evaluate and analyze the problem requiring innovation or change. The next step is to evaluate a specific triggering question that begins to isolate the particular issue we are hoping to resolve. Continuing to step through this process, what we see is a refinement of an issue drilling down to a specific, most important issue that requires a resolution. This step-wise refinement could be applied to any plan to address the implementation of an innovation or new idea.
