Whilst researching using Google for some additional sources on ‘co-production’ and ‘systems thinking’ for a paper I’m writing about action research and e-government, I came across a publication written by Zoe Gannon and Neal Lawson from December 2008 published by Compass, the democratic left pressure group that has support within the Labour party from the likes of Jon Cruddas MP, entitled exactly that: Co-production! Strangely, I am on the Compass mailing list but had somehow missed the promotion of the report.
The report provides a useful history of co-production with some practical examples from the UK.
