clipper's remarks: "For companies interested in co-creation like this, the most important step is participation. Speak with communities as a genuine, authentic person interested in learning and collaboration. Earn trust by giving more than you receive. Prototype alongside your customers, and share your failures as frequently as your successes. Be remarkable."

I was recently contacted for a brief interview on collaboration and co-creation by Insight Magazine, and my friend Ryan Rasmussen and I were quoted in the magazine. You can see it online here, or find it on newsstands.

The magazine article was inspired by discussions that Ryan had with the D*I*Y*Planner community. When I got to meet Ryan face-to-face at SOBCon in Chicago this past May, I asked him about those discussions and how they led to a new product being offered by the company that he worked for. Then he showed me the prototype of the “Circa PDA” (or cPDA) that he developed with the productivity/planner community:

For companies interested in co-creation like this, the most important step is participation. Speak with communities as a genuine, authentic person interested in learning and collaboration. Earn trust by giving more than you receive. Prototype alongside your customers, and share your failures as frequently as your successes. Create a remarkable experience.

I started an online social media experiment a year ago with R&D in mind. However, I quickly discovered that a responsive online presence was a far more valuable tool as a new method for learning from customers.

Encouraging creativity, ideation and collaborative brainstorming doesn't really fit into traditional PR, marketing, R&D, or customer service roles. It's an exploration of methods for innovating new business models and playing with the concept of co-creation. I've been thinking of it as open-sourcing innovation.

I haven't come up with a good title yet for what I do. I tend to just tell people, "I work in customer service."
