Our Services

Capability Architects' services encompass the full range of issues and opportunities afforded by strategic capability management. Our goal is to create the basic Strategic Capability Management cycle from strategy to delivery.

 

Our core service streams are:

Capability strategy

The single most powerful improvement most organisations can make to their capabilities is to close the gap between capability development and performance and their overarching business goals. If you do not take this fundamental step, your capabilities remain an uncontrolled cost with no visible return.

 

Capability Architects can help you build an integrated capability map binding your many capabilities into a single value pipeline. This will allow you not only to plan the development and control of all your capabilities in a focused, uniform and balanced manner, but also to generate effective boardroom reports on the progress, performance and benefits delivered by your capability management programme.

 

Using these tools, you will quickly be able to generate a compelling intellectual capital report - an indispensable tool for gaining support from the Board, analysts and financial institutions.

Capability management systems

Building capability is one thing; sustaining it is another. First and foremost, you need to acknowledge that managing your capabilities cannot be delegated to isolated individuals or groups - it is a company-wide investment that demands company-wide functions.

 

Capability Architects' capability management solutions cover the full capability lifecycle, from strategy development to innovation and knowledge management, from the implementation of your capabilities through training and tools to their delivery to your Clients, and from the mass of Client activity to recapturing the value you have created in the form of genuine intellectual capital.

Capability evaluations

The first step of any capability management strategy is to determine what you are trying to achieve, and where you are now.

 

Capability Architects can conduct a structured and expert evaluation of your existing capabilities and their management. The uniquely tailored capability roadmaps we deliver define a programme that integrates all aspects of capability development, from major tranches of development to individual risks and issues.

Capability development

Once a capability development programme has been defined, Capability Architects can help  you to develop your core capabilities.

 

We ensure that the full lifecycle is addressed - from initial sales collateral, resource mapping and establishing your key credentials to ownership, accountability and day-to-day management. Our expertise extends from individual tools, techniques and templates to comprehensive implementation and delivery methodologies

 

In addition, Capability Architects will ensure that your own team acquires the skills needed to independently sustain and develop your capabilities in future - although we are always delighted to develop enduring relationships with all our Clients, but we would be very disappointed if you had to ask us to do the same thing twice!

Skills delivery

In addition to the transfer to skills and experience that is integral to all our assignments, Capability Architects can help you analyse your training needs, design effective curricula, develop training courses, deliver training, plus provide the coaching, mentoring and facilitation needed to embed these essential skills.

Maturity programmes

Not everything can be achieved immediately, especially if your ambitions are as great as your potential.

 

So Capability Architects have designed a suite of maturity models and tools that will ensure that, however long the road to your ultimate goal, each step marks a qualitative improvement that more than repays the effort involved.

Supplier evaluations

Many organisations possess excellent  capabilities, but are let down by the other players in their supply chain.

 

If you believe that your suppliers add less value than they might, you will find that a Capability Architects supplier evaluation will expose both the problems and the opportunities, and open the way to smoother relationships and above all more successful operations.
