Abstract
This study focuses on investigating how orchestrator role
adoption happens in a healthcare ecosystem that is under
significant transformation. Exploratory case study
approach is taken to examine the roles and related
orchestration activities taken by the innovation network
orchestrator. The context of the case study, i.e.
healthcare ecosystem aiming to co-create technological
innovations to support pediatric surgery journey,
provides valuable insights in the overall framework about
innovation orchestration in service ecosystems, and adds
knowledge to specific limitations set by the
context-related issues. The findings of this study
highlight the need for careful coordination that allows
shared understanding of the goals of orchestration
process and achievable innovation implementations.
Neutral intermediary - a facilitator-orchestrator - is
needed for the coordination task to bring the diverging
actors together. Facilitator-orchestrators need to take
many roles to support innovation cocreation in the
healthcare ecosystem where expert work and communities of
practice come together in varying ways.
