Implication

Randomized trial develops a methodological framework to enhance collaborative innovation processes, suggesting actionable guidance for practitioners.

Key Points

  • This research aims to create a clear framework for designing and evaluating tools that facilitate collaborative innovation.
  • Conducted an Action Design Research study across three cases with five iterative build-intervene-evaluate cycles.
  • Developed the Orchestrating Collaborative Innovation framework incorporating insights from organization theory and empirical data.
  • Introduced 18 design principles for innovation community participants and 10 for orchestrators.
  • The framework provides specific design guidelines for tools at each phase of collaborative innovation.
  • Enhancement in cohesion and alignment on shared goals within innovation communities as a result of the framework implementation.
  • Advancement of a process perspective in design science, emphasizing the adaptive nature of innovation.
