Netnography

Tools. In a networked knowledge economy, co-creation is co-evolution. Our world is changing, so is the way we are thinking about it. The rise of online networks has not only modified our possibilities to connect and exchange knowledge with other people, but also has it given anyone with internet access a new, almost (not yet totally, but for how long?) Unalienable, power. From charities to tyrannies, from companies to markets, a lot of this power is shifting to citizens and customers. Paradoxically, the more people gain access to it, the less we can think in terms of mass.

Individuals, their diversity, their relationships, their interactions, matter more than the standardized bulk dynamics prevailing in the industrial logic. To adapt to this change, organizations have to reinvent most of the ways they operate. SD-logic and co-creation of value Service-dominant logic draws a framework in the quest for such an equilibrium. Furthermore, value is neither created in the void, nor in a simple dual firm-customers relationship. EN EUROPE - 24 H chrono pour un titre.

Why You Should Use Co-Creation To Build A Better Product In 2011. I've written a lot about co-creation over the past 9 months, demonstrating how it helps consumer product strategy (CPS) professionals develop better products. A majority of companies are not yet using social technologies to involve consumers in the product development process, but that will soon change. We expect an increasing number of companies to move from the education phase into the experimental phase in 2011 and 2012 -- or risk being left behind while their competitors move forward.

Why do we expect co-creation to take off over the next two years? The research provides a compelling case: Social co-creation delivers substantial benefits to CPS pros, with few barriers. Whether you are looking for new product ideas, validation of internal ideas, or ongoing customer input to the product development process, social co-creation provides a unique way of interacting directly and repeatedly with consumers, with quick turnaround times. Co-creation and crowd-sourcing: a powerful tool for NPD « GfK TechTalk. A recent crowd-sourcing study, run by GfK NOP in partnership with co-creation community eYeka.com , recently asked consumers to imagine their “ideal communication technology of the future”. Participants had the freedom to create a new device, a new service for an existing device, a piece of software or an application.

Their solution could be designed to make their lives easier, more fulfilling, more productive, or just more fun – the only limit was that it had to be something that could conceivably exist in the next five years. Providing a broad brief ensured that we received a smorgasbord of ideas, but even so, some common themes were found amongst the entries. These reiterated themes illustrate consumer frustrations with current devices and lifestyles, helping to give clear direction to manufacturers on what needs are still not being met in the market: that integrate payment, keys and other gadgets into typical Smartphone functionality or communication wired directly to a user’s brain .

A Co-creation Primer - Stefan Stern - The Conversation. By Stefan Stern | 8:55 AM February 28, 2011 Everyone says they are in favor of open innovation and co-creation. We have all heard about the wisdom of crowds, bringing the outside in, and have bought the t-shirt which states that “none of us is as smart as all of us.” But what is co-creation, really, and how do you do it right? Co-creation involves working on new product and service ideas together with the customers who are going (you hope) to buy them.

It turns “market research” into a far more dynamic and creative process. I had a great conversation about co-creation recently with the people at Sense Worldwide, a London consultancy. “When you need to transform a brand or product, you can’t just do the same things better,” Brown said. They have established some co-creation Do’s and Don’ts. Do’s first: • In co-creation, you have to forget everything you know about recruiting people for research, they say. Co-creation don’ts • Running a “make us an ad” campaign isn’t co-creation. That’s it. Co-Creation Innovation.

You have an idea—a really big idea. It could be for a new product. Or a new service. It even might be for a new way of doing business. The specifics don't matter. It's going be huge and make someone millions, maybe billions of dollars. The day comes when you are ready to share your big idea, so you meet with the partners you believe should be most excited about it. They pass. We know why you have failed to inspire them. Our experience tells us that these excuses are actually symptoms that your process was wrong.

Building With a Synergistic Partner There is a simple way around the problem: "co-creation innovation. " That's what we call the practice of finding a synergistic partner and creating something together. We see this as the second-largest innovation trend happening today, right behind sustainability.
