What is it about?

Co-creation is a concept that offers a broad perspective on the involvement of external actors in public administration. This paper aims to find out which new influencing factors of the implementation of co-creation can be identified in the selected departments of a Czech municipal public administration organisation. Through the analysis of qualitative interviews, 13 influencing factors of co-creation were identified.

Why is it important?

Each identified influencing factor has strong implications for how future co-creation policy should be shaped. The fact that even in this relatively limited research, a solid variety of influencing factors was identified shows that any implementation of this concept is a complex task requiring good knowledge of the implemented tools and the local societal and legislative context, as well as a great deal of effort from all included parties and enough material and non-material resources.

Perspectives

Writing this article was a great pleasure as it has one co-author with whom I have had no experience in the past. In addition, I gained personal contacts with people from various state organisations holding different job positions.
