The concept of capability of individuals and organisations has emerged in the past twenty years as a useful construct for examining a range of issues related to education, training and business success. To be capable, the author has argued, people need justified confidence, based on real experience, of their: specialist knowledge and skills; ability to manage their own learning and to learn from experience; power to perform under stress; communicate and collaborate effectively; and capacity for dealing with their own and others' value issues. This paper first discusses the difference between capability and competence. It then focuses on corporate capability, drawing out the similarities and differences between individual and corporate capability.
