Co-creation in work meetings. Making the invisible visible.
This book will help you shape co-creation in meetings with stakeholders. It is aimed at anyone who wants to make progress on a complex issue. Consultants, facilitators, (aspiring) professionals, researchers, managers, policy makers.A complex issue involves many parties and requires collaboration across disciplines, departments and organisations.
The only way to find out what works is through trial and error. Finding out together how to do things better is largely done in working meetings with a variety of stakeholders.This book is about collective inquiry in co-creative meetings. The invisible is made visible by collecting pieces of the puzzle of the issue with the help of large overviews. This contributes to insight, involvement and ownership for the next steps. It can also contribute to developing and sharing new knowledge as part of an action research project.
The book offers basic principles for organising co-creation in work meetings as part of a larger change process and twelve practical methods for co-creation in work meetings. These methods have been chosen so that everyone can participate, including people with low literacy levels, people with language problems or people who do not feel comfortable expressing themselves.
Each method is illustrated with examples and photographs from Tonnie van der Zouwen’ s more than 30 years of experience as a consultant, researcher, professor, facilitator and trainer in participatory change processes.

Biografie
Tonnie van der Zouwen
Born in 1956 in Utrecht as the youngest of five children in a middle-class family of Reformed
background. In 1973, began studying biology, first at Utrecht University (RUU), later at Leiden University (RUL), earning a candidate’s degree in ecology, a master’s degree in ecology, environmental studies, and a teaching qualification. During this period, developed an eye for detail, as studying biology is one long exercise in observation.
Graduated in 1980 and subsequently dedicated to guiding learning processes and developing curricula in various educational institutions. Learned much about working with people and organizing and orchestrating lessons carefully during this time. Became a mother of three children between 1985 and 1988.
In 1990, started as a consultant. Initially at the regional consultancy firm DvL, then at SPM and Deloitte.
In June 2000, started the Master of Change Management program at Sioo.
Since January 1, 2003, I have been working as an independent consultant. I support organizations and networks of professionals in change processes to better leverage existing capabilities. I do this in the roles of advisor, facilitator, coach, trainer, or researcher. Key themes are: creating new connections by bringing people and ideas together, using participative change methods, and promoting these methods. I achieve the latter through practical training such as the “Action Research” training, the “Facilitator Training for Large Scale Interventions,” conference workshops, and creating informative websites and other publications.

On August 1, 2014, I became a professor of Sustainable Working & Organising at Avans University of Applied Sciences. My primary responsibilities were initiating and conducting practice-based research, together with a research group—a wonderful new challenge, three days a week. I retired on July 1, 2022.
I have authored various publications, including three books:
– Playing in the School Gym with Co-creation. Insights and examples from eight years of professorship. Collection of 10 articles written with nine research group members. Avans University of Applied Sciences – 2022
– Conducting Action Research. A Guide for Students and Professionals – 2018, 2nd edition 2022
– Building an Evidence-based Practical Guide to Large Scale Interventions. Towards sustainable organizational change with the whole system. Dissertation and book on six-year research into success factors for sustainable change using the participatory approach for organizational change, Large Scale Interventions. Eburon Academic Publishers – 2011
