Prahalad and Ramaswamy demonstrate that personalized experiences are created through the interaction of companies and customers: More-active customers and less-in-control companies “co-create” value, making customers a full element of the business model.

Top 10 Book of 2004


To respond to forces that are shaping consumer behavior, corporations may need to partner with their customers, say C.K. Prahalad and Venkat Ramaswamy in The Future of Competition: Co-Creating Unique Value with Customers (Harvard Business School Press). Only by letting individual corporate customers and consumers fashion products and services will business leaders escape the trap in which their products' only distinction is price, say the two professors at the University of Michigan Business School.

Reviewer Steve Hamm found that the "provocative" book lays out "how to change organizational behavior to make co-creation natural rather than an isolated, heroic act." The authors have sweeping change in mind: Alterations must be made to every corporate function, from product development to sales and marketing. Indeed, what the duo contemplates is nothing less than the democratization of commerce.

Why 'Bottom Up' Is On Its Way Up

Pasted Graphic 1
Screen Shot 2013-06-29 at 6.53.26 PM
In an excellent new book, The Future of Competition: Co-Creating Unique Value with Customers, authors C.K. Prahalad and Venkat Ramaswamy describe the consumer's new role: "from isolated to connected, from unaware to informed, from passive to active." In the bottom-up economy, presuming you know what the customer wants is the ultimate error. Prahalad and Ramaswamy instead call for "co-creation of value": The successful products and services from now on will be those developed jointly -- company and customer working hand in hand.

Review of The Power of Co-Creation.

Notwithstanding a kind positive review, I particularly like his apt quote of Lao-Tzu's Tao Te Ching

"Learn from the people
Plan with the people
Begin with what they have
Build on what they know
Of the best leaders
When the task is accomplished
The people will remark
We have done it ourselves."

Host: Sanjog Aul

What are the hot topics in business today: Big Data, Cloud Computing, Social Media, CRM? These are all game changing technology innovations, and yet in increasing numbers of businesses, the adoption of this next wave of thinking is being pushed by the Marketing department, not IT. CIOs have a seat at the table, but have they been able to demonstrate the value of these technologies in the way that CMOs have? On the other hand, Marketing has been driving the ideas, but don’t they need IT’s support to fully deliver what they promise? Who then is winning the race in value creation? Is this even a race?

The Co-Creation Paradigm book release - Stanford University Press

Ramaswamy & Ozcan CCP BookCover

Read the Preface

Synopsis from Publisher:

A fundamental shift is underway that will change how we conceive of value. In an era of increasing interconnectedness, individuals, as opposed to institutions, stand at the center of value creation. To adapt to this tectonic shift, organizations can no longer unilaterally devise products and services. They must engage stakeholders—from customers and employees to suppliers, partners, and citizens at large—as co-creators.

Co-creation guru Venkat Ramaswamy and Kerimcan Ozcan call for enterprises to be mindful of lived experiences, to build engagement platforms and management systems that are designed for creative collaboration, and to develop "win more-win more" strategies that enhance our wealth, welfare, and, well-being. Richly illustrated with examples of co-creation in action,
The Co-Creation Paradigm provides a blueprint for the co-creative enterprise, economy, and society, while presenting a conceptual framework that will guide organizations across sectors in adopting this transformational approach. Challenging some of our most deeply held ideas about business and value, this book outlines the future of "business as usual."
