We propose to expand the notion of co-creation in such a way that it also recognizes interaction and sensemaking between different stakeholders within an industry or sector, compared to the current view, in which the focus is on the consumers’ role in co-creation activities. Stakeholder co-creation entails jointly creating meaning of a chosen complex phenomenon by using practical tools, such as narratives in the form of user stories. Sensemaking is a narrative process and can thus be used in combination with practical facilitation tools in order to co-create user stories or other stories, and in other contexts.10abusiness-to-business10aco-creation10asensemaking10auser stories1 aNyström, Anna-Greta1 aMustonen, Miia1 aYrjölä, Seppo  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/100901498nas a2200229   4500008003900000022001400039245004400053210004300097260004200140300000900182490000600191520089000197653001601087653001501103653001601118653001301134653002001147100001901167700002101186700002501207856003601232       2012                          d  a1927-032100aLiving Labs as Open-Innovation Networks0 aLiving Labs as OpenInnovation Networks  aOttawabTalent First Networkc09/2012  a6-110 v23 aLiving labs bring experimentation out of companies’ R&D departments to real-life environments with the participation and co-creation of users, partners, and other parties. This study discusses living labs as four different types of networks characterized by open innovation: utilizer-driven, enabler-driven, provider-driven, and user-driven. The typology is based on interviews with the participants of 26 living labs in Finland, Sweden, Spain, and South Africa. Companies can benefit from knowing the characteristics of each type of living lab; this knowledge will help them to identify which actor drives the innovation, to anticipate likely outcomes, and to decide what kind of role they should play while "living labbing". Living labs are networks that can help them create innovations that have a superior match with user needs and can be upscaled promptly to the global market.10aco-creation10ainnovation10aliving labs10anetworks10aOpen innovation1 aLeminen, Seppo1 aWesterlund, Mika1 aNyström, Anna-Greta  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/602
