Co-Creation Design

Program Overview

While the public sector is facing fewer resources, the private sector is facing increasing demands from customers to be involved in developing new solutions. The answer to these challenges lies in co-creation and how you design, plan, and deliver processes that engage and activate your citizens and users to help create innovative solutions.

Co-creation is about creating value that is worth more than what you can create alone. To achieve co-creation, you need active and equal involvement from all parties, which means that everybody must share knowledge, resources, and ideas to reach a common goal.

The Kaospilot Co-Creation Design program is a two-day course where you will learn how to design and execute more inclusive and participatory processes with your citizens and users. You will be working with the latest tools and methods to design and facilitate co-creation processes. The course will allow you to design environments that involve and include citizens or users as active co-creators.

”The Co-Creation Design course at KAOSPILOT gave me inspiration and an understanding that co-creation can make a difference. I got new methods that have helped me to use this process with others. Co-creation is something I can use in my work to create stronger ownership for others, including users, volunteers, and professional partners. By inviting others into a co-creation process, I can see my work and my projects from a new perspective. I have learned a lot about my projects by sharing them with others and focusing on the ‘why’ of the project”.

Nicolai Juhler, Center for Urban Kunst
