Future capabilities are human capabilities.
The Productivity Commission’s 5-year Report identifies a potent growth catalyst: leadership that is both skilled and agile, capable of harmonising with technological advancements, while adding distinct human value. This juncture is where ‘future capability’ crystallises as the lynchpin of competitive edge. In the face of rapid skill adoption, an organisations strategic leadership focus should not be on skill, but rather on the human capabilities that underpin the ability to adopt skills rapidly.
Our Future Leadership Capability Framework informs our board search methodology, matching the emergent governance environment to director capabilities.
The Future Leadership Capability Framework is based on 25 years of international research findings and framework development, and is scientifically founded in the Human Capability Standards. The model is underpinned by validated psychometric tools such as the Hogan suite, and captures the requisite acquired skills, tactical knowledge, learned behaviours, personal attributes and pervasive mindsets required of high-performing decision-makers to succeed in a rapidly transforming world.
