📝 About The Book

The Collaboratory: A Co-creative Stakeholder Engagement Process for Solving Complex Problems by Katrin Muff is a groundbreaking work that offers a structured and inclusive approach to addressing some of the world’s most pressing and complex challenges. This first edition, published by Routledge, introduces the concept of the “Collaboratory”—a co-creative, multi-stakeholder process designed to foster meaningful dialogue, shared understanding, and innovative solutions.

Drawing from real-world applications in business, academia, and public policy, Muff outlines practical frameworks for convening diverse stakeholders and guiding them through structured engagement. The Collaboratory method emphasizes systems thinking, deep listening, and transformational learning, enabling groups to move beyond polarized debate and into collaborative action.

With its strong theoretical grounding and actionable methodology, this book is an essential guide for leaders, educators, facilitators, and changemakers in business, sustainability, education, and governance. Whether you're seeking to initiate organizational change, foster cross-sector partnerships, or tackle global issues such as climate change or social justice, The Collaboratory equips you with the tools and mindset to lead participatory and impactful change processes.

Perfect for those interested in sustainability leadership, stakeholder engagement, systemic change, and collaborative innovation, this special edition provides both inspiration and a practical roadmap for making a difference in today’s interconnected world.
