Co-Creating Societal Progress

A tool for strategizing cross-sector partnerships

Co-Creating Societal Progress was a research-creation project on best practices for co-creating with governments. Interviews and field research yielded a map of factors influencing co-creative partnerships with public organizations. This map, as well as other tips and practical guidance, was integrated into a strategy and communication tool titled The Open Innovation Co-Creation Handbook. The tool was printed and shared amongst social innovation professionals in Switzerland and worldwide via Impact Hub’s Maker’s Digest.

I worked closely with Erica Mazzerole of Impact Hub Lausanne to develop and realize the proposal with support from Dr. Sophie Swaton of Fondation ZOEIN and funding from the Mitacs Globalink Research Award.
