Business Capability Partnership
The Business Capability Partnership is a public/private sector initiative aimed at improving the market for management and business capability development services. The Partnership's objectives are to:
- raise the sophistication of business demand for management and business capability development; and
- improve the responsiveness of suppliers of management and business capability development services to business needs.
The Steering Group for the project comprises representatives from Economic Development Association of New Zealand, the Employer and Manufacturers Association, the New Zealand Business Excellence Foundation, Chambers of Commerce and Industry of New Zealand, the New Zealand Institute of Management, Business New Zealand, New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants, New Zealand Council of Trade Unions, New Zealand Trade and Enterprise and the Ministry of Economic Development. The Ministry also provides secretariat support to the Partnership.
The Partnership has developed a strategy for improving the market for capability building development services that is structured around six 'channels' through which firms can develop capability. These channels are:
- Formal and informal learning;
- Mentoring and advisory services;
- Standards and certification;
- Learning through networking and knowledge sharing;
- Business improvement models and assessment tools; and
- Research and benchmarking.
The Partnership's Strategy and updates on its various workstreams are available from its website www.businesscapability.org.nz.
