Insightofcorecompetency

An organizational capabilities today are the result of its history that constrains what capabilities the firm can perform in the future.

In face of unprecedented uncertainty and fierce competition, to run a thriving business, it is critical to identify and close business capability gaps and build organizational competency to reach the business vision and achieve strategic business goals. 

Core competency is a combination and harmonization of multiple capabilities with a focus, giving your product/service a competitive advantage and aligning to the enterprise vision and strategy.



Core competency could be those which are identified as offering a competitive advantage in delivering great products or services to meet customers’ needs & wants: The organization's long-term success is based on a set of core competencies. Thus, it is always a continuous process to fine-tune business capability; discover the business strength that can be transformed into a core capability if it aligns with the strategic direction. Capability is core because it offers business advantage. The best scenario is to create a comprehensive capability map to bridge capability gaps and clarify business objectives from intermediate or long-term perspectives.

The important components of the business capability such as resources, processes, information & technologies and human capitals, etc, can be refined, integrated into cohesive business capabilities to implement business strategy. A core competency which is identified as the key differentiator for its business is a deep proficiency that enables a company to deliver unique value to customers.

It’s important to set up priorities, free up resources that can be used to deepen core capabilities in order to build sustainable core competency:
Organizations have limited resources or talent, so resource or skill shortage could be a bottleneck in capability development. Corporate resources include technological, financial, reputational, market structure and institutional assets, etc. Resource allocation impacts the level of balance in capability management. Many components of business capabilities are common and reusable across the enterprise. Thus, it’s always important to prioritize right, bridge the functional silos and fine-tune key business processes for building sustainable core competency.

Most of the enterprise capabilities need to be woven cross-functionally. The tough work for an organization today is to manage its portfolio of relevant cross-border strategic synergies. It is important to encourage communication and involvement in core capability development at the organizational, or business ecosystem scope, fine-tune business processes & structures, empower people, build a balanced portfolio of capability necessity and capability differentiated to improve the success rate of strategy management.

The organization’s core competency is based on the set of differentiated and cohesive capabilities and how fast and effective they can be built upon
: Increasing pace of change and frequent disruptions are part of business new normal. What matters is capability dynamism and maturity, the dynamic capabilities accelerate business speed to change. To shorten the capability development cycle and save the cost. The high mature digital businesses do the great work to build and preserve core competency even as management expands and redefines the business.

To improve organizational agility and shorten business capability development cycles, integral capability is often nonlinear and synthetic in nature, focusing on building core competency and achieving long-term business advantage. Organizations combine the modular capabilities exposed in a platform to create new experiences and expand its impact, embedding agility in processes, achieve new capability reconfigurations as markets emerge, collide, split, or evolve, etc, for adapting to change promptly and unlocking performance,

An organizational capabilities today are the result of its history that constrains what capabilities the firm can perform in the future. To implement capability-based strategy, organizations need to discover their “innate strength”; keep developing a unique set of core competencies, to make organizations more agile in implementing their strategy, more innovative to solve problems alternatively and more resilient to sustain organizational advantage.
