Tao / JonesTao Te Ching verse 53the great way is easy yet people prefer the side paths be aware when things are out of balance stay centered within the tao when rich speculators prosper while farmers lose their land when government officials spend money on weapons instead of cures when the upper class is extravagant and irresponsible while the poor have nowhere to turn- all this is robbery and chaos it is not in keeping with the tao |
Blogs have evolved into several popular forms - mine is an old-school online publication of written works in progress. While the topics range widely, they reveal my interest in understanding the emerging social meaning of technology in use, finding better ways of designing for knowledge and organizational practices, and progressive interpretations of systemic innovation. The title is meaningful - I see design processes as dialogic. Not just iterative, but design as languaging, both verbal & visual. We co-create & co-interpret in shared languages. A dialogic orientation requires we discover and appreciate the perspectives of all participants in a socio-technical system. Dialogue is performative designing - it requires both discipline and improvisation, to enable emergence of new meaning in human systems. We hold these dialogues every 2nd Wednesday in Toronto: Realize that dialogue has occurred when speaking leads to a new state of mutual understanding, and right action arises. This is also the purpose of designing. |
