What is needed to successfully orchestrate multi-stakeholder innovation co-creation? What is the significance of informal and formal aspects of orchestration in cross-organisational, cross-disciplinary co-creation?
Co-creation Orchestration (CCO) Laurea discusses these questions in a project funded by the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture.
Until multi-stakeholder innovation ecosystem has been established, continuous careful planning of the formal issues i.e. structures, agreements, business models, budgets etc. is vital in order to succeed. However, in the end, it is the informal aspects that greatly affect the successful reaching of the ecosystem’s goals: e.g. co-creating long-term trust capital from day 1 as well as creating conditions for serendipity and for all ecosystem stakeholders to value each other’s perspectives and goals instead of concentrating solely on their own objectives. This requires skills, capabilities and attitudes. In this workshop, we explore and discuss both formal and informal factors that can facilitate or hinder the successful reaching of ecosystem’s goals by sharing best practices and experiences as well as reflecting on literature on the topic.
