Discussion

Capability management aims to balance economy in meeting current operational requirements, with the sustainable use of current capabilities, and the development of future capabilities, to meet the sometimes competing strategic and current operational objectives of an enterprise. Accordingly, effective capability management:

  • Assists organizations to better understand, and effectively integrate, re-align and apply the total enterprise ability or capacity to achieve strategic and current operational objectives; and
  • Develops and provides innovative solutions that focus on the holistic management of the defined array of interlinking functions and activities in the enterprise's strategic and current operational contexts.“ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability_management)

In business, capabilities are the Rosetta Stone for translating strategy into action. A relatively new topic outside of Defense, Capability Management is being applied to align organizations to strategic intent and to accelerate results.
