Cocreation of value is a collaborative business model which involves customers and other stakeholders in the process of creating mutual and shared value. It is a two-way process of engagement between a company and its customers and other stakeholders to co-develop, co-create and co-deliver value in the form of products, services or experiences. This value is created through a participatory process that involves active collaboration and knowledge sharing between the company, customers and other stakeholders. This helps to ensure that all stakeholders benefit from the process and that the product or service offered meets their needs.
