Fronteer Strategy, an Amsterdam-based management strategy
consulting firm, proposes four types of co-creation and five guiding
principles to any successful co-creation venture:
The four types of co-creation
Club of experts: A very specific challenge is needing expertise and
breakthrough ideas. Contributors are found through a selection
process. Quality of input is what counts (e.g. Nokia)
Crowd of people: Also known as Crowdsourcing. For any given
challenge, there might be a person out there having a genial idea that
should be given a podium. It’s the Rule of the big numbers
(e.g.Threadless)
Coalition of parties: In complex situations parties team up to share
ideas and investments. Technical breakthroughs and standards often
happen when multiple parties collaborate (e.g. IBM)

Community of kindred spirits: When developing
something for the greater good, a group of people
with similar interests and goals can come together
and create (e.g. Linux)
Fronteer Strategy, an Amsterdam-based management strategy
consulting firm, proposes four types of co-creation and five guiding
principles to any successful co-creation venture:
The five guiding principles in co-creation
Inspire participation: Trigger people to join your challenge: open up
and show what’s in it for them (e.g. P&G Connect & Develop)
Select the very best: You need the best ideas and the best people to
deal with today’s complex issues (e.g. Innocentive)
Connect creative minds: You have to enable bright people to build on
each others ideas, both on- and off-line (e.g. Lego)
Share results: Giving back to people – and finding the right way to do
it – is crucial (e.g. Apple iPhone App store)
Continue development: Co-creation is a longer-term
engagement, in- and outside your company. Only then
it will deliver results (e.g. Dell Ideastorm)

Need a theoretical toolbox that makes ‘who gets what’ explicit
This relates to politics and ‘ecology of knowledges’

thoughts, we want facts”
