Capability Thinking® 

The Strategic Operating Model for Continuous Market Leadership

The Strategic Imperative: Bridging the Gap

Executives face three critical questions that determine the trajectory of their business:

Strategic Question Capability
Thinking®
Response
Is your organization truly aligned with today’s market realities and evolving customer needs? Establish business-owned Capability Teams and a robust Business Capability Life Cycle (BCLC) to ensure continuous alignment and a proactive competitive stance.
Are you satisfied with the ROI on your business and technology investments, or is it time for a new approach? Deliver a methodology to systematically increase project success rates and accelerate value realization, converting IT spend into measurable business capabilities.
Are you prepared to face the implications of maintaining the status quo? Equip your leadership with the framework to avoid costly, disruptive major transformations by fostering continuous, incremental capability enhancement.

Escaping the Transformation Trap

For decades, organizations have been plagued by high-risk, low-return project initiatives. Capability Thinking® focuses on fundamental shifts in how you Think, Organize, Behave, and Act (TOBA™) to deliver impressive business results reliably.

1. Shift from Projects to Capabilities

Move away from the finite, often siloed, model of projects toward permanent, value-driving Business Capability Teams. These teams, owned and staffed by the business (not IT), become the agile, accountable drivers of your core value chains, ensuring continuity, domain expertise, and deep technical literacy.

2. The TOBA™ Framework: A Differentiated Mindset

This framework instills the principles necessary for accelerated, outcome-driven business execution:

Pillar Strategic
Focus 		Executive
Impact
Think Principled, Opportunity, Resource, and Transition Thinking Optimizing allocation of People, Time, CAPEX, and OPEX to maximize strategic impact.
Organize Openness, Versatility, Acceleration, and Leverage Creating Oval Organizations that emphasize networks over hierarchies to accelerate communication and resource deployment.
Behave Realize Reality & Influence Opportunities Cultivating high-integrity, agile thinkers who execute purposefully and nurture relationships to navigate organizational complexity.
Act Engage, Prepare, Abridge, Zip, Create, Extend Utilizing the dynamic Business Capability Life Cycle (BCLC) to simplify, accelerate, and continuously optimize outcomes.

Integrate Capability Thinking® and INPERVA™ to transform Human Capital.
