People Capability Development: Key Tips to Improve Your Results

What is it that makes someone admire a company? Is it the ability to turn a profit? Is it how a company sets a particular strategy?

If you were to ask most people what they admire most about some of the leading companies today, chances are good that the answers would trend toward the other end of the spectrum – the ability to innovate, the focus on corporate responsibility, or the ability to solve a customer’s challenges in unique ways.

None of those have anything to do with a company’s corporate structure and everything to do with capabilities. We tend to see innovation as one of a company’s capabilities, but the truth is that it derives from the people within the organization – people capabilities are corporate capabilities. They are also the result of major investments in learning and development efforts, communication capabilities, and culture building.
