In her presentation, Mira Vogelsang shared insights on designing a co-creation process in small-to-medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to develop interventions on sedentary behaviour. She outlined three key steps of her approach.
First, she emphasized the importance of narrowing down the aim of the co-creation process. Using the PRODUCES framework, she highlighted the significance of considering various factors before designing the sessions. Second, she discussed the design of the sessions, drawing from academic and grey literature to identify suitable steps aligned with the objective and context of the co-creation process. Lastly, she stressed the need to select participatory methods sourced from both academic and grey literature that promote engagement, collaboration, as well as fun and creativity.
The co-creation process was implemented in three Scottish SMEs, undergoing iterations based on input and feedback from the co-creators and research team. This valuable work will contribute to the development of guidelines for effectively utilizing co-creation processes in the workplace to successfully create interventions.
