Integrating people into the 5Ps

While 'People' is one of the 5Ps, it is also the thread that weaves through the others.

Your team, stakeholders, volunteers and collaborators are not a standalone entity - they interact with your platform, shape your processes, collaborate with your partners and deliver on your purpose.

Here’s how to think about integration of 'People' into your 5Ps model:

  • People and Purpose: Your mission attracts people, but your people also shape your mission. Keep the relationship reciprocal. Regularly revisit your purpose in co-creation sessions.

  • People and Platform: Whether it’s a digital platform like a Made Open platform, a physical space or a communications channel, platforms must be user-centric. Involve people in choosing, testing and refining these platforms.

  • People and Process: People are more likely to engage when processes are transparent, inclusive and adaptable. Co-design workflows where possible.

  • People and Partners: Partnership is more than formal agreements - it’s a human connection. Encourage inter-partner communication at all levels, not just leadership.
