Key Points

  • This paper aims to redefine time management in collaborative projects to emphasize time sovereignty and its impact on innovation.

  • Conducted a meta-analysis of 43 EU-funded co-creation projects from the CORDIS corpus spanning from 2008 to 2021.
  • Developed frameworks like the Five Temporal Capacities and Time Sovereignty Matrix to assess time's role in collaboration.
  • 76% of practitioners indicated that excessive time pressure hinders innovation.
  • Creating unstructured creative time scored low at 3.12/5.00 in importance, showing a gap in practice.
