Unleashing the Knowledge Potential of the Community for Co-creation of Values in Society

Each of the seven case studies shared in Chaps. 2– 8 showed steps taken by leaders to solve social issues and eventually co-create new social values in community. Throughout the process, the activities and mindsets of the people were transformed and new ways of doing things were developed, a process we referred to as “social innovation.” In other words, community development and social innovation are about co-creating social values by changing the way people think and act by establishing new relationships among multiple stakeholders.
