Personal road map to co-creation in six easy steps | The Co-Creation Effect I’m often asked at parties what individuals must do to engage in personal co-creation. It recently dawned on me that I only knew how to describe co-creation from the organization’s standpoint, producing quizzical looks from my relatives and friends who are not in the business world. After all, it is a lot easier for a consultant to generate fees from a large organization hiring you to make more money, than it is to sell co-creation one individual at a time. So let me pick up the gauntlet, try my best incarnation of Wayne Dyer or Steven Covey, and tell you how to get on the road to co-creation in six easy steps. STEP 1: PEOPLE. STEP 2: INTERACTIONS. STEP 3: EXPERIENCE. STEP 4: TRANSPARENCY. STEP 5: PLATFORM. STEP 6: CO-CREATION. You are finally at home in the expanding universe of co-creation.

Galette La nouvelle version de Galette, 0.8.3, est désormais disponible au téléchargement ! Quelques nouveautés, quelques bogues corrigés sont au programme de cette nouvelle version. Vous pouvez consulter le changelog complet pour davantage de détails. Il s’agira de la dernière version de la série 0.8 du projet, ce qui signifie que je n’ajouterai pas de nouvelles fonctionnalités au projet avant la sortie de la version 0.9 (qui est déjà sur les rails depuis un certain temps, voire un temps certain, mais sur laquelle il reste encore du travail, bien entendu). D’ici très peu de temps, les branches develop de Galette et des plugins passeront en 0.9 ; et ne seront pas particulièrement fonctionnelles, de même que la version nightly. La documentation suivra très certainement, il faudra que je parvienne à me motiver :D La suite...

The Shapeways Co-Creator Platform The Shapeways Co-Creator Platform and what it means Co-Creation is the general tendency of companies to work together with their customers in order to create value for them both. CK Pralahad, one of the co-coiners of the term has said, ”Think of Google. I can personalise my own page, I can create iGoogle. I decide what I want. With iGoogle, Google makes the platform, the content is provided by Google and many other publishers and users make it meaningful by personalizing the page to their liking. The Shapeways Co-Creator Platform is our way of taking co-creation and 3D printing to combining the two. A designer can take a single design and turn that design into a template. The customer can then very easily customize, personalize and create his own unique objects to his or her specifications. A designer can now take any design they have and using Shapeways make it into something others can adapt and customize. Our Creator products are pure mass customization tools.

Phenix - Gestion d'agenda partagé multi-utilisateurs et multi-vues Co-Creation : BatesHook “Advertising says to people, “Here’s what we’ve got. Here’s what it’ll do for you. Here’s how to get it.” – Leo Burnett I’ve been in advertising for more than 15 years. So, why does Adland have such an image problem? Some blame holding companies and their pure focus on shareholder value, rather than focusing on reinvention of the agency model. The problem goes much deeper: people have lost trust in institutions and business. But, it’s time to change both. We need to make the advertising industry better. Our future will not look like the past. Our main goal is to make the world a better place. The belief that this is just a bump in the road and everything will get back to normal at one point is the biggest threat we’re facing. How ware we going to deal with India and China as the new dominant forces in the global economy? We really have no choice: All of us have to create a better form of capitalism.
