Arnkil Dialogues

We want to move away form traditional product and good practice thinking and reporting, which only captures the ”rational planning” mode of the product, and ignores or captures very vaguely the context, learning, situated and tacit elements of products

This is why we want to create a new kind of ”product space and ecology”, which recognizes that

• Products exist in three different forms or ”guises”: 1) the traditional written form (plans, texts, directives…), 2) as learning infrastuctures and ideas (like dialogical concepts) and 3) as lively ”material” of the actual events, happenings, stories people tell – i.e. illustrations that also capture (some) of the tacit dimensions (like gestures and ambience)•Products exist (basically…) on three levels 1) Front line contact level (face-to-face with citizens and customers as service products 2) Horizontal level (”middle-management”) as networking and workshops (i.e. a good workshop is a product!) and 3) ”Management of wholes” as setting frameworks and priorities• The products of MG will exist in all these three modes and levels (with differences and according to possibilities), and• they are mutually supportive i.e. the rational, learning infra and illustrative material support each other, and also the different levels (operational, horizontal and vertical) support each other.
