Collaborative Co-Creation
Want to engage your key stakeholders around your CSR efforts? Want to learn how to create shared value partnerships around innovative solutions that generate social/environmental and economic value?
Innovative solutions through collaboration and co-creation
‘Collaborative Co-creation’ is about turning your external stakeholders into potential partners. In practice this means collaborating with relevant external stakeholders like customers, suppliers and other key actors throughout your value chain, so they become co-creators of both social and business value for your mutual benefit.
Potential collaborators could, for example, be social entrepreneurs who have already developed some of the sustainable solutions you’re looking for. They could be NGOs, governmental organizations or academic institutions with specialist knowledge. Or even competing businesses with whom you can join your good business forces around a social or environmental challenge.
Engaging in formalized partnerships with key stakeholders around shared CSR objectives will not only help you build goodwill and trust. It may also enhance your company’s performance and competitive position – or even create the breeding ground for sustainable solutions through corporate social innovation. For the benefit of society as well as your bottom line.
