new report by the IBM Center for The Business of Government titled, Engaging Citizens in Co-Creation in Public Services, defines four key roles members of the community can play in conjunction with their government.

  • As ideators, citizens can conceptualize novel solutions to well-defined problems.
  • As designers, citizens can design and/or develop implementable solutions to well-defined problems.
