In the recent years, new forms of organization have emerged, that have a disruptive power over the existing social and economic system. This phenomenon is challenging the traditional design approach, based on the idea that designers could design services for citizens and public administrations. In the new processes designers and service provider are simply mediating the process of co-creation and supporting the ecosystem for the value creation process. This paper will propose a logical framework for the design action, according to a multi-level structure that includes the value-creation level, in which design is a prerogative of the stakeholders participating in the value-creation action; the level of infrastructuring in which designers use their expert knowledge to support the interaction in the value-creation phase; and the level of governance, in which designers must figure
out the structure of the ecosystem in which the value-creation process can be adequately organized and possibly scaled-up.@en

Citizens’ use of Open Data is often limited to the use of apps. The design of the (app based) public service as well as the interpretation of the data is done for them. The organization of local hackathons can promote citizens’ data literacy and better use of available Open Data for service transformation purposes. This promises to nicely combine citizen intelligence with participatory innovation with and by public service beneficiaries as the “next wave” of inclusive (e-)Government practice. In the proposed workshop, we simulate the organization and dynamics of a Hackathon based on the evidence at hand.@en
