Adopting the People-Centred Mindset
The following section presents key concepts that were developed and proposed in the PEOPLE project and relate to nurturing the people-centred mindset affecting all key actors, i.e. students, university teachers & researchers together with industry professionals and other relevant external stakeholders.
Discovering the "unknown unknowns"
People-centred development differs from linear problem-solving techniques. In contrast to being stable, defined, and methodologically well framed it can feel more like an adventure into unknown territories – discovering the “unknown unknowns” – and each project has its own contours and character. Very frequently it is about uncertainty, anxiety, contingency; involving even improvisation and relying on intuition. It is about being confident and trusting the process and methodology together with its leaps and iterations, even if it feels uncomfortable and hectic.
