Capabilities Planning

Our programs are research-based, results-driven, people-friendly

Duration  one and a half days

What is this workshop about?

Capabilities Development is an inherent part of Strategic Planning and a precursor for Workforce Planning. ‘Fit for purpose’ mix and optimal use of capabilities is becoming increasingly important in a global market. This workshop provides a theoretical and practical overview to support a clear assessment of organisational capability in connection with strategic intent., including identification of potential areas of waste or risk. 

Research-based: the workshop is founded on Set Theory, organisational capability models and validated decision grids

Results-driven: this is a practical workshop that draws on recent initiatives in lean thinking and quality systems to support a workable capabilities assessment for your organisation.

People-friendly:  the approach facilitates a high-level and in-depth strategic conversation about capabilities management and planning.  

Who would benefit?

This workshop is an essential step for the Strategic Planning Team or Executive Group or Board sub-Committee engaged in the full suite of strategic planning and/or review processes. This workshop would be particularly valuable to organisations that are undertaking quality programs and ‘lean’ initiatives.

Objectives

At the end of the workshop, the participating group will have assessed the current level and mix of organisational capabilities in terms of the strategic plan, current environment and potential future scenarios. They will have used decision grids to identify key areas for development and investment, as well as areas of potential waste or risk. Essentially, the group will develop a series of recommendations for action in terms of investment plans, systems changes and workforce planning to be factored into the implementation of the Strategic Plan.

Key topics covered

• Organisation Capability ‘fit’ with Strategic Plan
• Capabilities inventory – assets, workforce, outsourcing
• Waste and Risk
• Capabilities management and planning

The extra mile

This workshop is designed to gain maximum value from the group’s interactions, discussions and analysis – to establish just what capabilities development means in the context of your organisation. Our facilitation includes scribing and synthesizing the discussions and a further half day to assist in finalising the recommendations.
