It replaces the hierarchical approach to management and the linear approach to innovation, affording all stakeholders the possibility to influence and bring forth meaningful and relevant solutions in a collaborative environment. Co-creation results in the development of goods, services and experiences that are uniquely designed to meet people{\textquoteright}s particular needs, values, meaning and context. It leads to a profitable advantage for both companies and the people who will be using these goods and services as well as for the people working within the organizations.
