Capacity, in EcoSol’s approach, is the overall framework
of an organization and its future. It is the broadest view of an
organization’s potential for success. Our assessments, interventions
and recommendations expand the views of what is possible, the boundaries,
and the relationships that are the expression of fundamental values,
beliefs and assumptions…shifting thinking.
Capacity, capability and competency are three distinct but connected
concepts.
Building capacity is increasing the power to learn and
use knowledge to function at maximum potential. At EcoSol,
we take ‘capacity-building’ seriously, in the context of the interrelatedness
between individuals, groups, organizations, and external systems.
Capability defines the organization’s effectiveness with
its capacity. It implies the execution and performance to leverage
resources and deliver desired outcomes, within spirited vision and
commitment.
Competencies are the range of skills, knowledge and abilities
which create the core and scope of the real capacity of individuals,
groups, organizations and communities. They are the fundamental
assets which create the strength and foundation of sustainability.
Organizations that will thrive in the future must learn to draw
out and develop the competencies that enable people in any role
and in any situation to respond in a flexible and appropriate way.
Capacity, capability, and competency are linked in circular, linear,
and random ways to each other. Any one can be a starting point.
