The Impact of Capability Constraints.
The following visuals are useful in thinking about how Capability Constraints can impact on your organisation.
What you want is Wind in Your Sails…
For your organisation to perform, you need a critical mass of the right capability at each level, with some spare capacity – some who exceed the capability required by a particular level of work so that you have a healthy talent or capability pipeline. Having a sufficient critical mass of capability – sufficient EQ and IQ at all levels – is like a ship with wind in its sails. Energy is spent on figuring out how to perform better, not on how to fix what is broken. If your capability is sound, then shortfalls in competencies will not be that critical. People’s capabilities will enable them to close the gaps when training and development interventions are implemented.
However, if you do not have the capability you need, you are limited to the capability you have!
