“At a time when the technologies of the internet are making entirely new forms of collaboration possible we need maps and guidebooks to help us make sense of the bewildering opportunities. Venkat Ramaswamy and Francis Gouillart have created just such a guidebook. They have charted the unknown territory of large scale co-creation with great thoroughness and imagination. I recommend taking it along on any journeys of co-creation you plan for your organization.”

“The Power of Co-Creation builds a compelling case for how and why many successful companies have changed their focus -- not just reaching audiences, but building constituency. As the authors note, this concept is not limited to engaging with customers. It gets to how any organization establishes shared attraction through shared values. In doing so, it builds not just common ground, but a deeper, enduring, widely shared idea on which to build a great enterprise."

“Thanks to reduced communication cost and increased connectivity, it is now possible to take the old virtues of “listening to your customer carefully” and turn value creation into a much more dynamic, iterative and bottom-up process. It is this "co-creative" transformation that Venkat Ramaswamy and Francis Gouillart elaborate and illustrate in The Power of Co-Creation. An enlightening read for business owners in the new, socially-networked millennium.”

"Co-creation as a concept caught the imagination of managers since the time Future of Competition was published. It's now set to become a popular movement with a "ready-to-roll" execution framework so lucidly detailed in this book, laced with so many live examples. Convergence of public, private and social sectors through the idea of multi-level engagement platforms has the power to actually co-create a new world order!”
