WHAT IS A CAPABILITY BUILDING?

Building organizational capabilities, such as leadership development or lean


operations, is a top priority for most companies.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BUILD CAPACITY?


Community capacity building is defined as the "process of developing and
strengthening the skills, instincts, abilities, processes and resources that organizations
and communities need to survive, adapt, and thrive in the fast-changing world."
WHAT IS THE CAPABILITY FRAMEWORK?

A capability framework is a set of detailed and behaviorally-specific descriptions of the


key behaviors, and underlying skills, knowledge, abilities and attributes, which are
required for successful performance in an organization

WHY IS CAPACITY BUILDING IMPORTANT?

Capacity building enables nonprofit organizations and their leaders to develop


competencies and skills that can make them more effective and sustainable, thus
increasing the potential for charitable nonprofits to enrich lives and solve society's
most intractable problems.
WHAT IS A CAPABILITY MODEL?
A capability model describes the complete set of capabilities an organization requires
to execute its business model or fulfill its mission. An easy way to grasp the concept is
to think about capabilities as organizational level skills imbedded in people, process,
and/or technology.
WHAT IS A CAPABILITY MANAGEMENT ?
Capability management is the approach to the management of an organization,
typically a business organization or firm, based on the "theory of the firm" as a
collection of capabilities that may be exercised to earn revenues in the marketplace
and compete with other firms in the industry. "Capability Management" seeks to
manage the stock of capabilities within the firm to ensure its position in the industry
and its ongoing profitability and survival.
TYPES OF BUSINESS CAPABILITY
Three types of business capability that a firm might possess:

Core
Capabilities

BUSINESS
CAPABILITY

Supplemental Enabling
Capabilities Capabilities
Core Capabilities are defined as those "built up over time", that "cannot be easily
imitated" and therefore "constitute a competitive advantage for a firm". They are
distinct from the other types of capability and sufficiently superior to similar
capabilities in competitor organizations to provide a "sustainable competitive
advantage". It is implied that such core capabilities are the product of sustained, long
organizational learning.

Enabling Capabilities are defined as those that "are necessary but not sufficient in
themselves to competitively distinguish a company." In other words, enabling
capabilities are those which a firm has to do, in support of its normal operations and
core capabilities, but which are not themselves core capabilities (because they could
be imitated, developed quickly or would not be very different from competitors'
capabilities). Enabling capabilities are distinguished from supplemental capabilities
in that they are required, but do not necessarily add value to core capabilities.
Supplemental Capabilities are defined as those that "add value to core capabilities
but that could be imitated".
