Society 5.0 aims to bring comfort to all aspects of daily and professional life, whether related to energy, transportation, healthcare, education, work, or leisure. It is a society that strives to be sustainable and inclusive, considering the well-being of employees. What changes is the engagement of citizens in this process and the creation of a collaborative and cooperative relationship with technological tools. It also aims to provide solutions to the social and environmental problems caused by the technological advancements of Industry 4.0 (Deguchi et al., 2020). This concept highlights the idea that technological and industrial transformation should lead to happiness in society. The 5.0 concept encompasses three dimensions: human-centricity, resilience, and sustainability. Human-centricity implies that workers are considered assets rather than just resources, in order to improve work capabilities and ensure their well-being in the workplace (Breque et al., 2021). Citizens should also be integrated into the planning of cities or new policies. Resilience refers to the fact that an organization must be able to adapt to changes, whether geopolitical or natural emergencies (ibid.). Finally, sustainability refers to the implementation of circular processes to better manage resources (ibid.) and encourage citizens to adopt eco-responsible practices.

To meet these challenges, it is essential for the government, businesses, and universities to collaborate to find innovative solutions and develop value-creation ecosystems (Fukuyama, M., 2018). Universities are at the heart of these new transformations, which will be made possible through these new forms of collaboration (Hamaguchi, 2020). This is the context in which the European research project CODEMO (Co-Creative Decision-Makers for 5.0 Organizations) takes place. It aims to deploy this collaborative intelligence approach to support the transformation of organizations towards 5.0. This involves implementing a 5.0 innovation approach that will transform organizations, services, or products that encompass the three dimensions of 5.0. We intend to address this issue within the framework of a case study of this project, which aims to evaluate an innovative concept of nursing homes with the goal of improving and imagining the nursing home 5.0.
