Organizational Capability

An organizational capability is a specific ability or capacity that an organization possesses to perform a particular task or function. They are realized by various elements of the organization, such as people, processes, and technology. In the field of business, strategic thinking and planning delivers strategies and high-level goals that are often not directly implementable in the architecture of an organization. Describing the organization as a set of capabilties, enables organizations to reason about their goals and processes in a structured, strategic, manner. This structure can later be used to ensure business capabilities are assigned to organizational units, and people.
