## In authors' words

### Abstract

Dialogic Design Science (DDS) has been developed for the sole purpose to enable people from all walks of life to think and act systemically. In this chapter, the components of DDS are presented and connected in the context of the Domain of Science Model (DOSM) of John Warfield which encompasses four distinct and complementary domains for the evolution of any science. An application of the science in designing a Visionary Anticipation for 15 Wine Villages in the Republic of Cyprus is presented with the engagement of a variety of stakeholders. The prospective research for the evolution of DDS is also discussed through the development of a collective awareness platform, which is called iDemocreate.

### What they set out to do (purpose)

A chapter presenting Dialogic Design Science — developed so people from all walks of life can think and act systemically — set in the context of Warfield's Domain of Science Model.

### What they found (results)

DDS was applied to co-create a Visionary Anticipation for 15 wine villages in Cyprus with a wide range of stakeholders; a collective awareness platform, iDemocreate, is the next step in its evolution.

## Commentary

### In short

Presents Dialogic Design Science, a method for helping groups think and plan systemically, applied to 15 wine villages in Cyprus.

### Response

Published in the Handbook of Systems Thinking (Cabrera, Cabrera & Midgley, eds., 2023), a volume built on the premise that systems thinking now has a universal theory—DSRP-484. Its contents were selected on that basis by its editorial team in concert with a team of advisors.
