3. What is co-creation?
At its core,co-creation is about involving a community
outside your company in the ideation phase of the new
product or service development. With co-creation, the
participants — which may include customers, suppliers or
the general population — are made aware that they are
contributing towards the development of ideas and
concepts. Through a series of steps, people are invited to
contribute, evaluate, and refine ideas and concepts.

4. Sounds like crowdsourcing to me...
Co-creation is a collaborative initiative that operates like
crowdsourcing by seeking information and ideas from a
group of people. But there is one crucial difference: With
co-creation, the call is not put to an open forum or platform
but to a smaller group of individuals with specialized skills
and talents. The result is less crowd noise and less chaos.
With co-creation, companies can automate and track some
processes while still getting creative ideas.

So, the organisations are moving from a
company and product centred view of doing
business to an experience centred way.
In this concept of value, an organisation’s
products or services become an souvenir
around which individual consumer experiences
happen.

and value Cost: the cost of your
product/service is the
effort/amount you spent to
produce it
Price: is the financial
reward for providing the

10. Reflection and Evaluation
Think of an event or experience you
have had that you thought was good
value for money.
What made that experience good
value?
Was there anything that could have
improved the value?
How important do you think value is
as part of an event?
Reflect on the value of the ‘Zombie
Lockdown’ event in relation to the
price of the event.
Post the answers to these questions
on your blog.
11. Micro and Macro Environments

that directly affects your plans or planning of an event.
