Mr Bradford鈥檚 interdisciplinary research highlighted how the movement practices of the Japanese martial art of Aikido can facilitate leadership development for co-creation. Co-creation is a specific collaborative event shared by two or more people at any stage in a design process where ideas and experiences are exchanged to create something not known in advance. His ethnographic research generated a unique conceptual framework called BeWeDo庐. This framework is a relational leadership approach founded on the idea that individuals are constituted by their relations, and more specifically the social processes which enable leadership. BeWeDo庐 is an interactive experience designed to develop the relational leadership skills required to generate co-creative possibilities within social innovation projects at the pre-design and discovery phases of the design development process. His research is the first to investigate how Aikido movement practices can facilitate leadership development for co-creation and the role of emplacement for transforming co-creative possibilities.
