Collaboration and Co-creation in a General Engagement Platform to Foster Organizational Benefits During a Post-project-phase

This paper aims to provide a conceptual layout and design as starting point for an intra-organizational general engagement platform (GEP). Accordingly, we identify concepts and functions that are required or/and that are value generating for the development of a GEP for company-internal co-creation in post-project phases. Furthermore, we discuss pros and cons in terms of a SWOT-analysis. Results may provide a basis for further empirical studies, practical development, or/and future research in this direction.
