Have you ever wondered how yesterday’s breakthroughs, like the first mobile phones or early computer models, are now obsolete?
Everything, from gadgets to people, faces the risk of obsolescence in our ever-evolving world. Those who don’t grow, regress. The key to staying relevant is personal growth, a journey that’s more important than you might realize.
Human capacity development refers to the process of systematically enhancing the skills and abilities of individuals, organisations, and societies to perform functions, solve problems, and achieve goals.
Human capacity development is premised on the understanding that your ability (what you have done) is always a rung lower than your capability (what you can do but have not yet done).
Human capacity development is an inherent mechanism for change management that leverages your resourcefulness. Human capacity development is the periodic upgrade that keeps you relevant in the scheme of things. Human capacity development describes the most optimal approach to attaining fulfilment, which is likely not the path of least resistance. It is like moving forward or climbing higher to see further than your immediate environment. Human capacity development is an investment in oneself, a resource-building process that is individualised. Human capacity development highlights your current situation in relation to potential attainments and outlines an approach that bridges and narrows the gap.
Let me break it down: everything you do today to stay meaningfully relevant tomorrow is subsumed in Human capacity development.
Your Human capacity development entails adequate preparation, constant practice, subscribing to mentorship, enrolling for training, and coaching. It could also assume the form of continuous learning and personal development, which drives your creativity and enables you to be innovative. Overall, it entails instituting a paradigm, a set of beliefs and practices, that empowers you, challenges you, and improves you, as well as the people and things you interact with and engage. This can be achieved through small changes, such as repeat performance, which makes you more efficient. It can also involve prolonged preparation and extended practice.
In the long run, it is the value you add to yourself that enhances your capacity to add value to people and structures around you. Adding value to yourself requires a deliberate effort that may prove daunting enough to test your resolve, willpower and endowments. Your commitment to capacity development must outweigh your desire for convenience.
Absolutely correct! Taking that first move to building capacity is usually one of the most difficult but eventually pages the way! God help us!
