Reduce your capacity-capability gap to achieve your objectives
For almost everyone, our capacity to perform is less than our capability. By reducing the gap between capability and capacity we will improve our performance and achieve our goals and objectives both as an individual and as an organization. But how?
Chris Denison has created the Quality of Contribution (QoC) principles to help simplify the task of identifying conditions that influence our capacity to achieve our objectives against our capability to achieve them.
From the Article:
For everyone involved in a programme of work, the QoC journey begins by determining; ‘where to contribute (Intention)’, ‘why to contribute (Advocacy)’ and ‘how to contribute (Expression)’. When combined, these Principles establish strong programme cohesion and a clear programme trajectory.
When the QoC Principles evolved into what is now QoC Practice, the QoC Index was born.
The QoC Index helps keep an eye on the quality of contribution of programme participants. The QoC Index gives a continuous assessment of the strength and consistency of Intention, Advocacy and Expression associated with a programme of work.
As programme complexity increases, strength and consistency of Intention, Advocacy and Expression, must also increase.
By establishing and monitoring a set of QoC vital-signs associated with a programme of work means when QoC becomes unstable and falls, underlying issues are quickly identified and resolved, preventing any significant or lasting damage to programme performance.
