A Confluence of Third‐Phase Science and Dialogic Design Science

Kenneth C. Bausch and Thomas R. Flanagan

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, 2013, vol. 30, issue 4, 414-429

Abstract: Gerard de Zeeuw introduced the term ‘Third Phase Science’ in 1997. A deliberative method that is called dialogic design science (see http://dialogicdesignscience.wikispaces.com) illustrates an effective way of implementing third‐phase science as a means of understanding and adapting complex social situations. This paper explains De Zeeuw's concept in non‐specialist language and expands on the historical context of third‐phase science as a means of addressing contemporary needs. It shows how dialogic design science completes third‐phase science as an axiomatic science and makes third‐phase science into a valuable design methodology. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
