Abstract

Research is needed to understand how value co-creation could improve project outcomes and benefits. Many studies have shown projects do not meet mandatory objectives. Further, few projects configure and design value propositions to deliver a service experience and value beyond the minimum requirements. A solution to these problems may lie in a shift on projects: from production to a service focus. ServiceDominant Logic (yet a contested arena) has become a paradigm in the marketing and is providing influence in management studies. It offers a fresh perspective to see projects as a service with a focus on outcomes. It also provides an alternative standpoint to analyse the benefits delivery and effectiveness for the long-term: valuein-use and context. However, Service-Dominant Logic needs to be operationalised as it might not work in isolation. Service Design could be used to make a bridge between practice and theory. Contrary to Service-Dominant Logic, Service Design is rooted in practical applications and could mobilise a service logic. This paper contributes to the research community by exploring the link among value co-creation, service-dominant logic and service design in the project context.
