Understand the Capability Gaps \u2013 Prioritize Your Needs<\/h4>\n

If you always do what you\u2019ve always done, you\u2019ll always get what you\u2019ve always got.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2013 Henry Ford<\/em><\/p>\n

To do things differently, to make new things happen, quite often requires the application of different or new skills. People may already have these skills, but have just not yet tapped into them. Understanding what skills are required, what skills you\u2019ve got, and deducing from this the skills gap you have, is essential to deploying people effectively to instigate improvements.<\/p>\n

It is often very easy at a human level to misunderstand the required change in people. There are different levels of seniority, capabilities and emotions that require the development of different capability development needs. One size does not fit all. Having common ways of working involves everyone understanding the role each person plays. We have to develop technical knowledge and expertise as well as to coordinate that our work together is effective and efficient. Quite often the training carried out can be standard, but the coaching support provided should be unique.<\/p>\n
