Are you interested in learning co-creation and becoming a professional facilitator? Co-creation and service design are highly demanded and valued working skills nowadays. Job ads are often seeking full-stack professionals who can both master their own specialty as well as communicate and mediate between different stakeholders and facilitate innovation processes, change, and development. Let your specialty be health and wellbeing, business management, or security; all fields of employment require skillful developers that can take business to a new level. Studying co-creation ensures you get a job you won’t get bored with!

​

Changing work-life demands lifelong learning. Professionals need to keep on updating their skills and building competences. Technological change and globalisation are not the only drivers of transformation; business culture is changing, too. Top-down management is becoming an old and inefficient way of working. The new direction is bottom-up. This type of indirect management requires new kinds of skills, and co-creation is the method to mediate and facilitate multi-stakeholder developing and collaboration. At Laurea Open University of Applied Sciences, you can study while you work, improve and update your professional skills, and aim your studies at achieving specific qualifications.

​
