Capability has become a very popular term in management. A search on Seek.com.au on the term “Capability” turned up over 8000 jobs in Australia including Learning and Capability Manager, Capability Development Lead, Capability and Culture Consultant and many more.
Our research indicates that while “Capability” is a popular term, it means different things and seems to encompass many different outcomes and job roles.
So who is a Capability Management Professional and what do they do? Join us as we talk to an experienced panel who are trying to shape Capability Management in their organisations. We also present CapabilityCafe’s own view on what encompasses this increasingly important function in achieving business results.

http://www.plays-in-business.com/people-capability-maturity-model-p-cmm/
The P-CMM framework
enables organisations to
incrementally focus on key
process areas and to lay
foundations for improvement
in workforce practices.
Unlike other HR models, P-
CMM requires that key
process areas,
improvements, interventions,
policies, and procedures
are institutionalised across
the organisation —
irrespective of function or
level.
Create a desire for learning by making it easy, fun and a daily activity. Not an event.

Help our people “learn how to learn” via training, technology and tools

Use our data analytics more effectively to continually improve our capability programs
Hi everyone, my name is Catarina Rogers. I lead Organisational Capability at UnitingCare Queensland.
For those not familiar with UnitingCare Queensland, we are a not-for-profit organisation providing healthcare, aged care, disability care and community services across Queensland and NT. We are the second largest employer in QLD, with 15,000 employees and 9000 volunteers.
A bit of background about me, my career has predominantly been in L&D roles working either in L&D or OD teams across various industries including retail, finance, utilities and healthcare.
I’ve been with UnitingCare QLD for nearly 6 years, most of this time in an L&D Specialist role focussing on leadership development. My current Organisational Capability role is a new role both for myself and the organisation, and we are still in the early days of our organisational capability journey.
So what do I actually do?
Funnily enough, this is a question that comes up a lot, or if the question doesn’t come up, I certainly get the look that’s on the picture on this slide when I introduce myself and my role (both internally and externally to the organisation).
I find most people make the assumption that my role is learning and development, and although that is a component of developing organisational capability, it’s not all there is to it. Before I talk through what it is I do in my day to day role, it might be helpful for me to firstly share my view of what organisational capability is and why I feel it is important for business and then outline what it is I’m doing in relation to that.
Organisational capability is what sets us apart from our competitors.
If organisations within the same industry all have the same areas of focus and all provide learning and development in those areas of focus, how are they any different from one another?
Organisational capabilities are the differentiator. You look at your strategic plan, identify what sets the organisation apart and what will make the organisation successful and then work to develop those areas.
I define organisational capability as the collective individual, social and leadership knowledge, skills and behaviours (what and how) in the organisation as well as the processes, tools and systems (enablers) to support the utilisation of this knowledge, skills and behaviours.
If you think about it, you can provide customer service training until the cow’s come home – you can teach people active listening skills, how to seek feedback, how to identify customer needs but if you don’t provide them with a service delivery model or the systems, processes and tools to be able to do those things, then your training will have minimal impact.
My experience has been that many organisations focus on the individual, social and leadership components only and these are driven mostly by reactive team or department needs. In large organisations, this can result in a lot of diverse initiatives, all using different models and occurring in isolation of one another. This makes it difficult to have an organisational view and direction, and of course makes it difficult to work collectively in a way that sets you apart in the market.
You’ll also notice in the model that organisational strategy and culture drive the organisational capability – and there needs to be direct alignment to both of those things. It’s also important that the organisation can support the development of the capability, which means making sure the capabilities identified are ambitious but also achievable.
So going back to ‘what do I actually do?’
My goal is to support our organisation in moving from an individual and leadership view of capability to a more strategic organisational capability view.
We are quite early in our organisational capability journey. As an organisation we’ve recently undergone a massive restructure, bringing together our four different organisations under the one banner. We are coming together and identifying what we want to be and what we need to be to be able to best serve our community. We are in the process of developing our new strategic plan and my role is to support the organisation in identifying the organisational capabilities we need to support the realisation of that plan. It’s an exciting time but there’s a lot to do. I’m currently in the process of planning how we make the shift to an organisational capability view and engaging and educating key stakeholders on what this means and why we are doing it.
The systems, processes and tools component will be particularly interesting as it isn’t an area that HR usually work within and I think we may be limited in what we can achieve in this space given the breadth and complexity involved. I think in this space my role would be more of an advisory role for any systems, processes and tools that do not sit within the remit of HR.
I’m also staying closely connected with other key pieces of work particularly in the L&D, culture, performance and talent management spaces, given how closely related these are to organisational capability. This oversight and partnership with the project leads in these areas will be, and has already been, incredibly valuable in informing organisational capability work.
The plan of work for the next horizon includes:
Engagement with executive, senior leaders and key stakeholders to identify the organisational capabilities.
Development of a capability framework
Capability audits and needs assessments
Development of initiatives to address gaps (includes learning initiatives, toolkit development, process recommendations)
Evaluation and reporting of capability development
Relationship management plays a big part throughout all of the steps above. Particularly in our organisation where the workforce is so incredibly diverse, I want to be sure all areas know they’ve been heard and that this is reflected in the output produced.
So all in all, my role requires strategic thinking (also includes the ability to draw connections across the organisation), strong relationship management, influencing, research and analysis, project management, vendor management, facilitation (focus groups),
Is it a profession in it’s own right?
