MATRIX FOR ELABORATING THE DIMENSIONALITY OF THE CO-LAB ARCHETYPES Triggering Question used in cited example Archetype A1:

Diagnosis of the Problematique Complex primarily through vaguely defined and intensely interacting mega-trends Design Considerations Appropriate for trying to build a community that embraces stakeholders from diverse perspectives What are the critical problems that we need to keep in mind as we seek to address the challenge of global sustainability? Duration of Project 8 weeks from commitment to completion, including delivery of products 4 weeks from commitment to completion, including delivery of products # of individual modules 1 Duration of individual modules 1.5 days Other Considerations Projected Costs* $25,000

Advantages Enhanced ownership of the clustering step by the participants More time for amending and interpreting the influence map

Disadvantages Time commitment by the participants Increased costs

A2: Diagnosis of the Problematique Complex primarily through vaguely defined and strongly interacting problems

http://dialogicdesignscience.wikisp aces.com/file/view/RETROSPECTI VESTRUCTURALINQUIRY.pdf Appropriate for improving or enhancing alignment amongst members of an existing team

What factors contribute to the dropout rate for students in our District?

1 day

Reduced costs and time commitment The existing team will have opportunity in the very near future to continue interpretation & discussion focused on colab products

Risk of diminished ownership of the participants in the clustering step Less time during the co-lab for amending and interpreting the influence map

http://cwaltd.wetpaint.com/page/Ro ot+Cause+Mapping+with+Everett+ Students B: Reconnaissance Complex primarily through unexplored situations and unexamined intentions Appropriate for enhancing the understanding and commitment to a challenge or initiative that impacts a community of stakeholders What are key factors that should be taken into consideration in the application of the implementation science in the arena of education in Michigan?

6 weeks from commitment to completion, including delivery of products

1.5 days

MATRIX FOR ELABORATING THE DIMENSIONALITY OF THE CO-LAB ARCHETYPES Triggering Question used in cited example Archetype Type C: Long Range Action Scenario Construction Complex primarily through uncertain futures Design Considerations Appropriate to explore alternative futures based on extrapolation of past and present trends What national/regional trends/events would you consider as having the greates impact on electric energy efficiency over the next fifteen years? Duration of Project 10 weeks # of individual modules 1 Duration of individual modules 3 days Other Considerations Preferably in a retreat environment Intense work prior to 3-day Co-Lab in conducting surveys and gathering data Increased time to generate final report What are descriptors of an ideal model of Famagusta/Vaosha, a place of interaction, communication and cooperation of Greek and Turkish Cypriot Famagustians to serve as an example for a future united Cyprus and to act as a catalyst for solving the Cyprus problem? What do you think Michigan teachers and schools ought to do for all students to learn math? 10 weeks 3 1.5 days each (face-to-face) Increased shared ownership and commitment through faceto-face interactions to attaining the idealized future vs. an extrapolated future Higher time & cost commitment $50,000 Projected Costs* $75,000

Advantages Enables a community of stakeholders to converge on a collaborative action plan for approximating a preferred alternative future within the cone plausibility (probably and possible)

Disadvantages Commitment of time and cost

1.5 days each 1.5 days virtual (synchronous & asynchronous

Lower cost commitment Increased flexibility in the use of time during virtual co-lab because of asynchronicity

MATRIX FOR ELABORATING THE DIMENSIONALITY OF THE CO-LAB ARCHETYPES Duration of Project 8 weeks # of individual modules 1 Duration of individual modules 2 days Other Considerations Self-preservation may impact needed change Anticipated Costs* $65,000

Archetype Type E: Collaborative Action Agenda Complex primarily through the number and diversity of essential collaborators Type F: Root Cause Analysis Complex through the merging of observerindependent and observer-dependent data

Design Considerations Appropriate for reallocation of resources and a change in policy direction by converging in a collaborative action agenda http://dialogicdesignscience.wikisp aces.com/file/view/CKDFinalReport .pdf Appropriate for anticipating factors that might inhibit the successful implementation of an innovation in the field of practice

"What are action options which, if adopted and implemented by the community of stakeholders, will help in addressing the system of barriers?

Advantages Short-term action agenda amongst a diversity of organizations that must collaborate to address a major issue

Disadvantages Because it is shortterm, people must change the course without a lot of freedom or flexibility

What factors do we anticipate will emerge as inhibitors to the successful implementation by OSE/EIS of the CIFM cycle of activities in its field applications?"
