What if you could call on external, mixed-age teams to develop innovative ideas and approaches to solving current challenges?
With the help of the JOINT GENERATIONS Co-Creation App, you have the opportunity to do this. You can use our platform to submit problems from a wide range of topics and receive individual approaches to solve them.
Sample contests can manage new work, organizational development, or company digitization. Through our app, teams from different disciplines, age groups, and experience levels come together to develop creative impulses.
In addition to the new ideas that your existing employees contribute to your innovation process, you can also use the co-creation app to position your company as an exciting employer and get to know new, cross-generational talent.
HOW CONTESTS WORK | ORGANIZATIONS
1. Submit a Contest
Submit your challenge, including a description and a prize for the winning team. After we add them to our app, mixed-age teams can get together to generate ideas.
2. Generate Ideas
Once a team has decided on their contest, they will be brought together via a video call. The team then has two hours to create ideas and solutions online.
3. Select Ideas
After the contest is finished, all the solution ideas will be collected and sent to you. You can then judge the results and select a winning team. You will also have the opportunity to contact the teams and follow up on the ideas.

YOUR EMPLOYEES ACQUIRE THESE COMPETENCIES WITH THE CO-CREATION APP
How do we want to work together and create cross-generational innovations in the future? With combined forces, all generations can go into the future stronger; they just need to communicate and make decisions together. Decisions about the future can only be made collaboratively because everyone—regardless of age is a significant part of the system. All the necessary potential is there; it just needs to surface, and that is our mission.
Demographic changes will present us with major social and economic challenges in the future. One of our major goals is to harness the innovative impetus of different generations and thus eliminate cross-generational barriers in companies. To this end, we pool the knowledge of different generations and help participants benefit from all of it. This is how innovative solutions are created through cross-generational knowledge. We are convinced that innovation and age diversity belong firmly together. The most compelling argument is that innovation thrives on a diversity of experiences and backgrounds. This is achieved by hiring and shaping a diverse culture in organizations. Furthermore, interacting with each other and the environment reinforces each individual experience. This contributes to accelerating innovation. Our experts and practitioners provide different perspectives of new, intergenerational collaboration and innovation because the future is ageless.
