Existing research understands co-production as leading to shifts in
roles of the public sector institutions and their staffs. The shift
is seen in the way that a discursive use of the term service
provision with embedded logics encompassing fiscal accountability,
performance measurement, efficiency, and process regulation has
changed towards discourses that embrace collaboration between the
public sector front staff and the citizens, with the aim of
developing legitimate and effective welfare services that are
co-produced by means of active participation and distributed
decision making. However, this change requires new approaches to
the way in which the implementation of new practices and tools is
executed in practice as studied and researched, and how the new
practices and tools are understood and evaluated in organizations.
Processual Perspectives on the Co-Production Turn in Public Sector
Organizations is an essential reference book that examines,
unfolds, and develops approaches to co-production and
implementation as dynamic, processual, collaborative, sensemaking,
and as requiring and resulting in capacity building and learning.
Moreover, the book examines new approaches to engage citizens and
public sector actors in collaborative and co-productive processes,
especially with concern for new goals pertaining to sustainability,
social equity, democratic legitimacy, etc. Covering topics that
include knowledge management and collective leadership, the book
presents perspectives on capacity building, learning, change, and
evaluation in organizations and current research in different areas
of the public sector. It is intended for public sector
administrators and managers investigating the relevancy,
approaches, and methods in co-production. Furthermore, it targets
civil actors and welfare service users, leaders and managers of
public organizations, researchers, academicians, and students in
programs that include social welfare development, public
administration, political science, and organizational development.

Throughout the literature of creative learning, many assumptions
and even stereotypes about the artists' creativity are nurtured,
often according to myths going back to the Romanticism. The authors
have been investigating and describing outstanding artists'
creativity and learning/working processes, asking the question: how
do artists create, learn, and organise their work? This book
explores these questions by means of original empirical data
(interviews with 22 artists) and theoretical research in the field
of the arts and creativity from a learning perspective. Findings
shed an original light on how artists learn and create, and how
their creative learning and change processes come about, for
instance when facilitating and leading creative processes.
