Understanding value co-creation in public services for transforming European public administrations

Objective

The main goal of Co-VAL is to discover, analyse, and provide policy recommendations for transformative strategies that integrate the co-creation of value in public administrations. The project aims to accomplish these objectives by conducting research on the paradigm shift from the traditional top-down model to demand and bottom-up driven models when citizens, civil servants, private, and third sector organizations voluntarily participate in the development of transformative innovations addressing changing needs and social problems.
Co-VAL will push the boundaries of both research and practice by providing: i) a comprehensive and holistic theoretical framework for understanding value co-creation in public services from a service-dominant logic and a service innovation multiagent framework, ii) measurement and monitoring for transformations in the public sector by using both existing data and new metrics (large-scale survey), iii) investigation on 4 public-service-related co-creation areas of public sector transformation: digital transformation (including open platforms, big data, and digital service delivery), service design (including service blue-printing), government living labs, and innovative structural relationships (public-private innovation networks and social innovation), and iv) generation of sustainable impacts in public administration policy and practice by delivering actionable policy recommendations that build on the research findings, by tracking and monitoring how governments’ pilot projects and actions, and by facilitating peer to peer knowledge exchange to facilitate implementation.
Co-VAL is a consortium of 13 teams from 11 EU countries formed by leading experts in public administration, co-creation and open governance, digital economy and service innovation. The consortium is organised to co-work with stakeholders representing central, regional and local administrations.

Periodic Reporting for period 1 - Co-VAL (Understanding value co-creation in public services for transforming European public administrations)

Reporting period: 2017-11-01 to 2018-10-31

Summary of the context and overall objectives of the project

The Co-VAL research and innovation action project takes on the challenge to find new ways of integrating the co-creation of value as a way to transform public administration services and processes. The core contribution is the analysis of innovative ways for a) the design of service models for public administration processes, mainly driven by demand (where service providers and the users of services, such as citizens and organizations, are the key actors), and (b) by bottom-up supply (e.g. through civil servants, front-line workers, or third parties) that promotes the voluntary and active integration of society in the transformative efforts of public administrations. The main goal of Co-VAL is to discover, analyse, and provide policy recommendations for transformative strategies that integrate the co-creation of value in public administration through the introduction of a new paradigm of public service design and delivery. The project accomplishes these objectives by conducting research on the paradigm shift from the traditional top-down model of service design to demand and bottom-up driven models. In the latter model, citizens, civil servants, private and third sector organizations voluntarily participate in the development of transformative innovations that can address changing needs and solve social problems.

Deliverables

Websites, patent fillings, videos etc. (3)

Project Website and Social Media

Development of the Project website and Social Media accounts.

Online prototype tracker

The online tracker will be based on the checklist of indicator, and will allow data gathering and data visualization regarding the implementation of the recommendations. It will be a dedicated mini-site, integrated in the main Co-VAL site. It will allow experts to upload data and display summary information per Member State.

Co-Design of the databases

This will include the design of good practices (LC) and the enrichment of research knowledge base (UAH).

Documents, reports (9)

Co-design of panel report

This delivery will present the goals and working methods of the stakeholders’ panel as the outcome of interactions between Co-VAL full members and Co-VAL panel members.

Methodology for monitoring

The deliverable will present the methodology to transpose the policy recommendations in yes/no indicators, corroborated by evidence.

Literature review on public service reform models

To review and evaluate existing evidence.

Research report on the case studies

To review and evaluate the evidence on current engagement from the case studies.

Mapping and instruments providing data on the co-creation of public services

The main objective is to provide a review of available data and to create comparative indicators on the use of co-creation and transformative service innovations in the public sector. The indicators will be designed to meet requirements for monitoring over time and benchmarking across countries.

Detailed Communication plan outlining the communication strategy that will be applied by Co-VAL.

Report on cross country comparison on service design

The literature review report will convey findings on service design thinking, methods and techniques in use in various public service settings in Europe, it will analyse potential benefits and limitations of public sector service design in a PSDL perspective.

Draft questionnaires for cognitive testing plus the final questionnaires

The main output is two draft questionnaires (one for public sector organisations and one for NGO/private sector collaboration partners) for cognitive testing.
