Co-creating with external actors involves challenges beyond internal collaboration. Before significant external co-creation, clarify the nature of the collaboration. Is this genuinely shared creation? Or is it consultation? Be honest about what kind of engagement this is. Design co-creation… An ongoing team scaffold (collaboration practice), run for external collaboration, not as a one-off session.
