better Gross Margins in Year 1
Co-created Products

Co-creation Labs
Co-creation Labs were developed as a strategic tool that could be applied to a variety of challenges around the
world
Co-creation Lab is…
•  …an interactive work session among
consumers, experts and the customer.
They work together, to:
•  openly attack one of the customer’s
challenges
•  co-develop one or more solutions
to the challenge
•  …playing a role in making the customer’s
brand more relevant with the specific
target groups, by generating insights and
co-developing ideas.
•  …a source of inspiration for the client,
based on outside-in approach
Co-creation Lab is not…
•  …merely a diagnostic tool: it helps
generate insights, but it is not traditional
research
•  …a replacement for designers and
product managers
•  …a turn-key solution, ideas are rough,
inspired and relevant but require more
in-depth/ technical development

Co-creation Lab: Leading Edge Consumers
Focusing on leading edge consumers has dual benefit: first to sparkle creative output of the session, and later to
develop a concept of inspiration for all the others
•  Because they are outspoken, brand conscious, articulate
and original
•  Have a clear opinion
•  Connected and “in the know” (about what’s happening
locally and internationally)
•  Source of inspiration and able to build on each others’
ideas rather than “just criticising”
•  Confident and used to developing new/own ideas
instead of “copy/paste” what’s already out in the market
Why “leading edge” consumers?
Homophily: individuals tend to bond
and associate to others a.k.a. Birds of
feather flock together
Complex Adaptive Systems: network of
independent dynamic relationships
that adapt and learn from each other
+	
  
Swarm Intelligence: collective behavior
of decentralized, self-organized systems
