Transparent and inclusive Sample Clauses

Transparent and inclusive. The literature stresses that the co-design processes have to be built for inclusivity and creativity, not just for efficiency and effectiveness (Xxxxx, 2016). This is because the various stakeholders involved in joint knowledge co-production projects will have diverging perspectives. The success of joint knowledge production will be enhanced if the different perspectives of stakeholders are recognised and respected (Xxxxxx et al., 2012). This includes acknowledging their different knowledge and value systems, to appreciate the influence of contrasting contexts on knowledge formation and allowing for the development of a shared understanding (Xxxxxx et al., 2016). Xxxxxx et al. (2014) also found that the most successful projects created a protected space for knowledge development, while establishing connections with ongoing policy processes. Because of the contrasting views potentially involved, collaborative working often requires skills or mechanisms that can overcome boundaries (Xxxxxx et al., 2016), noting these can also be organisational or inter-personal, such as established hierarchies that can hinder collaboration and sharing of knowledge. Co-production can also use constructive decision-making and conflict resolution processes (facilitation and design factors) (Xxxxxx et al., 2017). Based on the literature, the COACCH project should therefore ensure an inclusive process that recognises and respects different views. It will be particularly important to ensure this is translated into practice at the first stakeholder workshop, to recognise the diverse set of stakeholders on the project and take on board differing views.
