Abstract

Although the co-creation concept was coined already in 2004 there is a surprisingly little amount of applicable tools to date. As a concept, co-creation has now reached a point where theoretical developments need to meet efforts to make it more tangible and to foster its adoption and
realization in practice. Whilst a number of different practices can be identified in previous literature, they remain fairly abstract and most often only concentrate on the process of co-creating value ignoring necessary additional activities like preparation, planning, and evaluating of co-creation
activities. Therefore, the state-of-the-art of applicable concepts as well as cases of successful application in practice were analyzed and interviews with companies, which successfully introduced co-creation activites were conducted. Based on that data a conceptual framework (“Co-Creation
Square”) is presented. This framework consists of four squares each giving practical guide for applying co-creation properly.
