Capability is integral- breaking it down, binding it up, with the right mix of elements to make achievement.
Novelty: Creativity is one of the most needed professional capabilities in the era of digitalization. It’s an innate process to generate novel ideas. The process of creative thinking necessitates the need for the ability of divergent thinking, a novelty-seeking behavior, and a “putting together” thought convergence. it becomes simply ”creating value by solving simple or complex problems innovatively.”
Business professionals need to break down thinking ceilings, overcome conventional understanding, spark novelty, exercise their talent, unlock hidden potential. In the organizational setting, it’s important to streamline idea flow and catalyze innovation via exploration, assimilation, and exploitation of value-added novelty. It’s critical to strike the right balance of hard & soft, tangible & intangible ingredients, balancing the multitude of perspectives, to generate novel ideas and implement them effectively.
Navigation: In face of “VUCA” reality, navigation competency requires the multidimensional understanding of both tangible and intangible elements of varying circumstances. Business professionals today should keep learning agile, demonstrate contextual intelligence to think in the box, on the box, and across the box, to improve higher-level of understanding. They are able to navigate through unprecedented levels of complexity, diversification, and interdependence. On the navigation dimension, a cognitive mind with digital fluency has more antennae focused on the trends and what’s going on in the world, speak different languages fluently, break down silos and streamline information flow across boundaries frictionlessly.
Navigation is an integral professional competency with multiple professional capabilities such as metacognitive capability - strategic reasoning, inquisitiveness, agility, holistism, etc. Both imagination and knowledge are crucial to shape insightful innovation navigators who are good at embracing fresh perspectives, practicing unconventional thinking, asking thought-provoking questions, understanding things from different angles, and harnessing cross boundary collaboration.
Nimbleness: In today’s dynamic environment, nimbleness means elasticity, flexibility, resilience, and transparency, overcoming silo or overly rigid polarity, and being able to move deliberately and swiftly. The nimble individual or organization is complex enough to act intelligently; adaptable in the midst of adversity, threat and stress; flexible enough to solve problems alternatively; scale up or scale down accordingly, and make changes promptly.
Outdated thoughts, skills, or capability gaps are the reality. To perceive things objectively and make sound judgment; nimble professionals are able to push the boundaries of complexity that provide opportunities to grow and create value, pull necessary resources together for building competitive advantage, and keep themselves relevant. They should keep discovering innate talent, accumulate knowledge and experience, train new skill sets, and develop unique professional capabilities.
Capability is integral- breaking it down, binding it up, with the right mix of elements to make achievement. Business leaders and professionals need to periodically make an objective assessment of their professional capabilities, identify skill gaps, continue learning and updating their knowledge and skillsets, improve professionalism and make constant progress.
