Intersectoral alliances that work from value co-creation processes achieve compliance with economic, social and environmental sustainability

ETICAISMO is the consultancy that promotes the creation of intersectoral alliances through value co-creation processes between the business sector, the public sector, NGOs and/or the various agents of the social economy (such as non-profit organizations: associations and foundations, etc.) so that through the generation of innovative ideas and the development of strategic plans, sustainability is achieved effectively in its three aspects (economic, social, and environmental).

Alliance definitions

Here we believe it is important to highlight that among the relevant definitions of intersectoral alliances are:

Intersectoral alliances

The relationship or exchange of information, resources, activities, and capabilities of organizations from two or more sectors to jointly achieve a result that could not be achieved by the organizations of each sector separately (Bryson, Crosby y Stone, 2006; p. 44).

Intersectoral alliances between companies and non-profit organizations

A discretionary agreement between both partners to address social or environmental issues and to produce specific organizational benefits for both partners (Al-Tabbaa et al., 2014; pp. 658-659).

Intersectoral alliances Government-other organizations

Work agreements based on a mutual commitment between a public sector organization and any other organization outside the public sector (Bovaird, 2004; p. 199).

Likewise, value co-creation is a type of social innovation that includes: “the joint activities of the parties involved, customer (or other beneficiary) and a service provider in direct interaction, with the aim of contributing to the value arising from one or both parties” (Grönroos, 2012).

What key dimensions do co-creation processes have between organizations from various sectors?

The value co-creation in collaborative relationships is made up of 4 measurable characteristics:

Participation of collaborating organizations in the relational process.
Reciprocity between both parties.
Learning through the acquisition of knowledge.
Commitment to foster a long-term relationship.

Why is it fundamental to generate alliances based on the co-creation strategy (Sustainable Development Goal 17)?

Because intersectoral alliances create social and organizational benefits as a consequence of the application of value co-creation processes, thus achieving the effective fulfillment of each Sustainable Development Goal:
