Identifying and cultivating the capabilities your enterprise needs

According to ‘Time for a new consensus’, subtitled ‘Fostering Australia's comparative advantages’- an essay by Jonathan West and Tom Bentley, published by the Griffith Review, December 2017 common themes facing many industries and organisations are:

• market disruption, laying waste our existing operating assumptions

• developing dynamic capabilities, enabling greater flexibility and agility in responding to market / environmental changes, whether they represent disruptive forces or new opportunities

 And yet, with the world around us changing so dramatically, why is it that the organisational practices and capabilities increasingly fail to meet these changing demands? For success in the future, organisations need to be clear and develop their unique competitive advantage.  Absolutely!  And, they need to attend to capabilities critical to enable them to change their business model and operating models.  We are seeing this particularly in the disability sector as it transitions into NDIS proper.

 Organisations need to ask themselves:

 ·         Are we cultivating the capabilities our enterprise needs for the future?

 ·         How do we know what capabilities we will need?

 ·         How do we choose which capabilities to develop or strengthen sooner rather than later?

Join us as we explore these ‘critical’ capabilities through a different lens to  traditional management consultants.  We will discuss our experience in assisting organisations to assess and develop capability through a number of different dimensions, including culture, process, practice, systems, assets and other resources.  

 We will explore:

 ·         What do we need to do to successfully cultivate a capability?

 ·         How do we choose which capabilities to develop?

 ·         How does this link to brain savvy thinking and approaches?
