Initiativestogrowprofessionalcapabilities

Professional competency development and maturity requires character, vision, knowledge, determination, persistence, discipline, dedication and practice in the present and a continuum.

We are experiencing a major paradigm shift from a siloed industrial age to the hyperconnected digital era. These changes reshape our thinking and recasting the way we view ourselves, the societal ecosystems of which we are a part of. Global professionals should keep exploring themselves, integrating the existing building blocks or recombining existing capabilities into high-integral capabilities for solving complex problems and making a high impact.

Professional capability and value: Either individually and at the organizational level, in order to survive fierce competitions and rapid changes, you need to not only have capability necessities to “keep the lights on,” now; but also build differentiated professional competency. The purposes for developing professional capabilities are to create value and solve problems large or small. Value creation is both art and science by balancing short term gain and long term advantage.

It is a hybrid, networked environment in which the powerful collaboration platforms and computing technologies enable seamless conversations and cross-functional collaboration. The talented employees with a growth mind continue their journey to discover their purpose, develop professional capabilities and create values coherently. If there are no values "glue" to keep everyone motivated by the collective endeavor, then you're not effective in overcoming common challenges.

Professional capability & potentiality
: Capabilities enable people to achieve high performance results. High potential enables people to explore themselves further and create high performance in the future. People with high potential are usually more innovative because they see unique patterns and make fresh connections that others overlook. So today’s business professionals should keep discovering their inner strength and talent, it’s whatever you are motivated to work on; investigating your passion: defining your work tasks, things you want to do and do better than others.

Organizations today need people with strong capability to achieve high performance, they also need to keep discovering talent, and encourage people to unleash their full potential. The talent management should make an objective assessment: How well does the individual continue to perform and grow in their current roles; how likely are they able to take on new challenges at work, rapidly learn and grow into next-level roles; how well they can be self-motivated to utilize they full potential and make a big impact. You need to look at all aspects of individual traits, work ethic, capability, influence, creativity, experience, and performance, and the hidden potential each employee has if given the opportunity to excel.

Professional capability and humility
: Capabilities bring confidence to people; while confidence enables people to build more professional capabilities. But the over dose of ego stops people from learning and growing. The global professionals with the right mix of ability and humility have the confidence and willingness to admit when they might be wrong, and they are ready to say "I don't know." With humility, they are open to learn about themselves, others, and love new ideas, so they can develop differentiated capabilities constantly.

It is important to create and nurture an environment in which humility is appreciated, curiosity is encouraged, and capabilities can be developed either individually or collectively. It is a high- mature leadership team that helps to elevate team morality and encourage others to rise to the challenge by believing everyone is capable of discovering themselves and developing their own strength into differentiated capabilities; and if necessary, being willing to look to others to help you reach your goal instead of going it alone.

All knowledge professionals today need to continue to learn, develop the fitting mindset; build professional capabilities continually. Professional capability views seem to be more open to considering both internal or external sourcing and provide a level of abstraction that allows more open considerations from the multidimensional lens. Professional competency development and maturity requires character, vision, knowledge, determination, persistence, discipline, dedication and practice in the present and a continuum.
