Capability Development
Capability is the general term for the knowledge accessible to the organisation to underpin individual, group and organisational productive capacity; including current and future potential.
Human Capability Development (HCD) provides a unique insight into not only how to build capabilities, but also the capital value such activities can generate for an organisation or society. As a base it moves to encompass more than just a narrow focus on training people for jobs or defining skills in terms of behavioural, role or task performance. HCD within organisations underpins three key outcomes:
-
Increasing performance and productivity by investing in leadership, education, training and development activities that increase the capabilities held by people and therefore affect performance.
-
Increasing individual commitment and organisational responsiveness by investing in processes and technology that enhance the ability of people to collaborate and communicate in a manner that will enhance organisational goal attainment and the communication of a shared vision
-
Accelerating the accumulation and integration of knowledge by investing in strategies that will increase the stock of capability available to the organisation, teams, individuals and members of collaborative communities.
