Abstract

The paper examines the impact of virtual rendering of the Structured Democratic Dialogue (SDD) process. The authors discuss the implications of implementing each process stage virtually and suggest necessary adaptations to the relevant practices. They provide recommendations for improving the overall quality of online sessions and propose qualitative and quantitative indicators that can be used to compare and evaluate face‐to‐face and hybrid or virtual implementations. Pertinent indicators include financial cost, completion time, cost of required resources, number of factors generated, Spreadthink, extent, depth and quality of discussions during clustering and mapping stages, number of dimensions identified, number of factors included in the influence map, number of connections in the influence tree, situational complexity indices and degree of agreement on how to move forward. The authors propose that further research and additional case studies can help systems scientists and practitioners converge on reliable and validated criteria and metrics to allow solid assessment of possible quality loss associated with rendering each stage of the SDD process virtual.

评估虚拟结构化民主对话的可行性

本文探讨了虚拟呈现结构化民主对话（SDD）过程的影响。作者讨论了虚拟实施每个过程阶段的影响，并建议对相关做法进行必要的调整。他们提出了提高在线会议整体质量的建议，并提出了可用于比较和评估面对面实施和混合或虚拟实施的定性和定量指标。相关指标包括财务成本、完成时间、所需资源成本、生成的因素数量、聚类和制图阶段讨论的展开程度、范围、深度和质量、确定的维度数量、影响图中包含的因素数量、影响树中的连接数量、情境复杂性指数以及就如何推进达成一致的程度。作者建议，进一步的研究和更多的案例研究可以帮助系统科学家和实践者就可靠和经过验证的标准和度量方法达成一致，以便对因将 SDD 过程的每个阶段虚拟化而可能造成的质量损失进行可靠的评估。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
