While the term has gained in popularity, its true meaning and practical implementations are not widely understood. Existing resources, such as co-design toolkits, are freely available online but tend to be highly specialised and template-driven, limiting their usefulness for diverse contexts. The team behind "The Art of Co-Design" conducted a thorough review of existing co-design toolkits and created a comprehensive resource that provides a holistic understanding of co-design, its methods, and applications. This book examines the core steps in developing and delivering projects, from creatively designing the co-design itself to understanding how it can work best for different stakeholder groups to analyzing results correctly and producing effective prototypes. Consider this book the ultimate guide on 'how to' co-design. - Gain the confidence to effectively engage in co-design.- Learn how to customize and apply co-design to any context.- Allow for more authentic and tailored approaches."

Auf der Grundlage ihrer 30-jährigen Erfahrung mit chinesischen multinationalen Unternehmen und Firmen werfen die Autoren ein klares Licht auf das unternehmerische China und seine Vertreter. Anhand konkreter Beispiele werden in dem Buch Management- und Strategiekonzepte analysiert, die die gewohnten Methoden westlicher Unternehmen in Frage stellen. Diese werden als "Drachentaktik" bezeichnet, eine systematische Umsetzung des Prinzips: versuchen, scheitern, wieder versuchen und wieder scheitern, bis ein zufriedenstellendes Ergebnis erzielt wird. Das Buch beschreibt eine Mischung aus der Geschichte Chinas, den Prozessen zur Erzielung von Erfolg in einem unsicheren Umfeld und Managementmethoden, die sowohl dem Konfuzianismus als auch den neuen Technologien entlehnt sind, und enthält viele Lektionen, die westliche Führungskräfte lernen können. Nicht nur, um in China selbst erfolgreich zu sein, sondern vor allem, um in einer zunehmend unsicheren und unbeständigen Welt generell besser aufgestellt zu sein.
