Co-Creation Nation Living Labs
Bringing Science To BIPOC Communities.
Co-Creation Nation Living Labs are constantly evolving in close cooperation with end-users and stakeholders as well as researchers, scientists, educators and volunteers across the country. Our 10,000 listed end-users are found across 50 states and they are engaged in various ways in the total process from need-finding and idea-generation, through concept-development and prototype/usability testing to service piloting. The process is supported by our proprietary The Intentional Entrepreneur Performance (T.I.E.P.) Method, Exploratory Spike Plan (ESP) and Human Equity- Centered Design Tools.
