Capability Alignment

The Capability Alignment is a tool based originally on BS 11000, which has now been superseded by the international ISO 44001 standard.

It is typically completed by a number of participants to establish the the degree of convergence/divergence between organisations. It also establishes the readiness of an organisation to engage in collaborative working relationships/partnering arrangements.

Answers questions like:

• “How ready are the parties to enter into a collaborative relationship?”
• “Where are the strengths and weaknesses in knowledge and capability?”
• “Where are opportunities for knowledge sharing between the parties?”
• “Do our present challenges stem from a lack or gap of knowledge and/or capability in a particular area?”
• “What competencies and behaviours do we need to develop?”

Functionality:

• Web-based managed service.
• Automated participant invitations, reminders and progress tracking.
• Optional anonymity control.
• Capture of parameter scoring and related issues.
• Reports updated in real-time.
• Simple or ‘in-depth’ questionnaire (latter based on our Capability Assessment).

Additional options:

• In-depth gap analysis between organisations, departments, functional teams, etc.
• Capture suggested improvement actions.
• Export comments and suggested improvement actions to action management tool.
• Categorise relationships for category-based reporting.
• Categorise participants under ‘roles’, for role-based reporting.

How it works:

• Individual or multiple self-assessments of one organisation (or department, project, team, etc).
• Typically 2-10 participants per organisation (scalable to as many as needed).
• Aim to repeat every 12 months.
