Most can agree that end users have valuable input when new products are being developed. But how can you systematically integrate them in a company’s development process and how can you handle ideas that don’t fit into existing business plans? One of Coloplast solutions is an online community sponsored by the company, but it is administrated and moderated by the users themselves. Is it easy? No, but it’s very exciting and offers a huge innovation potential. The presentation contains a practical case on how Coloplast uses virtual co-creation in product development.
