Capability Frameworks
Defining the Behaviors to Drive Your Organization Forward
Whether your organization has a model you’d like to refine or you are starting from a blank sheet, we bring our expertise in assessing gaps and skills while aligning goals and stakeholders to help you rapidly craft a contextualized, practical capability framework.
We see capability frameworks as a powerful tool that can help an organization move towards its strategic goals, while giving employees a set of expectations for their current roles and support in developing skills needed by future roles. We also recognize that a framework alone will not drive change, and instead think about capability frameworks as just one piece of the puzzle. Explore our design approach in more detail below.
Our Design Principles for Creating a Capability Framework
01
Make it Simple
Use language that people can engage with and understand, create clear messaging to communicate the capabilities and behaviors.
02
Make it Practical
Ensure that it is clear how this new set of capabilities will be applied to day-to-day work and how individuals can drive improved business results over time.
03
Make it Relevant
Create it with the business, for the business; connect capabilities to the company’s ecosystem, models, and processes.
04
Make it Rapid
Leverage short sprints and iterations with stakeholders, using momentum and learning to refine capabilities.
05
Make it Matter
View this as a change management activity where we need to connect both hearts and minds.
