Professional Abilities

Business leaders and professionals need to periodically make an objective assessment of their professional competencies, identify skill gaps, and build a professional profile with a strong capability portfolio

Professional capability refers to the skills, knowledge, and behaviors that enable individuals to perform effectively in their work.

All knowledge professionals today need to continue sharpening their mindsets, skillsets and building their integral professional capabilities continually. There are both hard and soft factors such as talent, process, motivation, special training, etc in building professional capability, and there are different levels of professional competencies.

From raw talent to professional capability: People all have some “raw or natural talent,” the things you have a strong feeling that you can do better than many others, even before training. In fact, people are different, with unique talents, some are artistically intuitive, some are linguistically intuitive, some are experimentally intuitive, etc. If your linear capabilities are based on your natural talent, there is a higher possibility you can become more intuitive about what you do and deliver quality results consistently and effortlessly

From linear skills to integral capabilities: At the beginning, people develop their linear skillset to do certain tasks; later, they develop the next level of skills and unique competency. The concept of “integral” often refers to mixing or synthesizing a few nonlinear capabilities that people deliberately develop at the flow of their life or career journey. The concept of "nonlinear" as a concept is representative of what we term emergent properties - sometimes we can control, sometimes, it just happens. Integral capability is often nonlinear and synthetic in nature, combining the modular capabilities exposed in a platform to create new experiences and expand its impact, embedding agility in processes and focusing on building long-term professionalism

Develop potential to the next level of professional capabilities: 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, and things you want to do and do better than others.

Business leaders and professionals need to periodically make an objective assessment of their professional competencies, identify skill gaps, and build a professional profile with a strong capability portfolio, in order to fulfill their career goals and reach the next level of the growth cycle.
