Capability refers to the power or ability to do something.

While capabilities are difficult to define, they are often the most sought-after and respected characteristics of people, organisations and systems. This is how capability is described by the Harvard Business Review:

What people respect about the companies is not how they are structured or their specific approaches to management, but their capabilities—an ability to innovate, for example, or to respond to changing customer needs. Such organizational capabilities, as we call them, are key intangible assets. You can’t see or touch them, yet they can make all the difference in the world when it comes to market value

Gauge Capability aims to build the capabilities required to achieve your goals. They support the development of capabilities in the following areas:

• Personal capability: This describes the capacity and ability to achieve individual results.
• Organisational capability: This is the ability of an organisation to achieve the goals it sets for itself.
• Building capability: This is the ability to enable built environments to achieve specified performance.
• Research capability: This describes the ability to undertake and publish research.

Gauge Capability develops capabilities by providing access to courses, guides and tools. The name Gauge Capability was developed to reflect the emphasis on developing capabilities through understanding and assessing existing situations and capacity, designing responsive capacity development programmes and applying, evaluating and refining approaches to achieve objectives.
