Capability strategy and frameworks
Capability frameworks and training needs analysis.
Role-by-role frameworks, assessed against the work, built for you to maintain.
Define the capability your organisation needs, assess where it stands today and identify the gaps that carry the most risk.
The challenge.
Most organisations can describe their strategy. Fewer can describe the capability their people need to deliver it, role by role, or show where that capability is strong and where it is not.
Without that picture, learning investment is spread thin and risk sits in places leaders cannot see.
- Do you know the capability each role needs?
- Where are the gaps that carry the most risk?
- Is learning investment going where the risk is?
- Can people see what good performance looks like?
- Do people have a pathway to build capability?
- Can you evidence capability to leaders and auditors?
How we help.
From a single training needs analysis to a capability framework your organisation maintains itself, scoped to the decision you need to make.
- Capability frameworks that set out what good performance looks like in each role, with clear proficiency levels
- Capability needs analysis built from interviews, document review and workforce data
- Training needs analysis and learning strategies tied to strategic and regulatory priorities
- Learning pathways that connect development, practice and assessment to the framework
- Measures and reporting that give leaders the evidence to see capability gaps and prioritise investment
- Implementation roadmaps that prioritise the gaps to address first
How an engagement works.
A typical engagement runs in four stages. Each ends with something you can use on its own, so you can stop or continue at any point.
- DiscoverUnderstand your strategy, risks and how the work is done, through interviews, document review and workforce data.
- DefineSet out the capabilities each role needs and what each proficiency level looks like at work.
- AssessMeasure current capability against the framework and find the gaps that create the most risk.
- PlanTurn the priority gaps into a roadmap, learning pathways and measures leaders can track.
Why Wisdom Learning.
We build frameworks to be used, not filed. Each one is built from how the work is done, connected to learning and assessment, and designed so your organisation can maintain it.
As a registered training organisation, we can also link a framework to nationally recognised qualifications where formal recognition is needed.
Programs on this page are tailored capability development. They are not nationally recognised training unless a qualification or unit code is shown. Nationally recognised training is delivered and assessed by Wisdom Learning Pty Ltd, RTO 88062.
Recent work.
We have built capability frameworks, learning pathways and assessment approaches for Commonwealth agencies, regulators and security workforces. Ask us for comparable examples, with client details removed.
Questions about capability frameworks.
Short answers to the questions organisations ask us about this work. If yours is not here, ask us.
What is a capability framework?
A capability framework sets out the capabilities each role needs and what good performance looks like at each proficiency level, so you can assess people consistently, target development and plan your workforce.
What is a training needs analysis?
A structured analysis of the gap between the capability people need and the capability they have, by role, built from interviews, document review and workforce data. It tells you where learning will make the greatest difference.
How long does a capability framework take to build?
It depends on the number of roles and how much existing material you have. We agree scope, milestones and approvals at the start.
Can a framework link to nationally recognised qualifications?
Yes. As a registered training organisation (RTO 88062), we can map a framework to units of competency and qualifications where formal recognition is needed.
What does your workforce need to do differently?
Tell us about the capability you need to build and the environment it has to work in.
