Co-creation in work meetings[ e-boek]

Co-creation in work meetings Making the invisible visible.

This book will help you shape co-creation in meetings with stakeholders. It is aimed at anyone who wants to make progress on a complex issue. Consultants, facilitators, (aspiring) professionals, researchers, managers, policy makers.

A complex issue involves many parties and requires collaboration across disciplines, departments and organisations. The only way to find out what works is through trial and error. Finding out together how to do things better is largely done in working meetings with a variety of stakeholders.

This book is about collective inquiry in co-creative meetings. The invisible is made visible by collecting pieces of the puzzle of the issue with the help of large overviews. This contributes to insight, involvement and ownership for the next steps. It can also contribute to developing and sharing new knowledge as part of an action research project.

The book offers basic principles for organising co-creation in work meetings as part of a larger change process and twelve practical methods for co-creation in work meetings. These methods have been chosen so that everyone can participate, including people with low literacy levels, people with language problems or people who do not feel comfortable expressing themselves. Each method is illustrated with examples and photographs from Tonnie van der Zouwen' s more than 30 years of experience as a consultant, researcher, professor, facilitator and trainer in participatory change processes.
