Building Organisational Capabilities - McKinsey Global Survey 2010

Nearly 60 percent of respondents to a recent McKinsey survey say that building organizational capabilities such as lean operations or project or talent management is a top-three priority for their companies. Yet only a third of companies actually focus their training programs on building the capability that adds the most value to their companies’ business performance.

McKinsey's defined a capability as anything an organization does well that drives meaningful business
results. The survey explored which capabilities are most critical to a company’s business
performance and why they focus on the capabilities they do. It also asked executives how their
companies create and manage training and skill-development programs and how effective
those programs are in maintaining or improving on their priority capabilities.
