BOARTES Capability Development Consulting

Many organisations are unable to achieve the full value of the major investment they make in developing new or upgraded specialist capabilities. For example, acquisition of a new Helicopter Law Enforcement Service involves far more than purchasing helicopters and recruiting pilots. Boartes Consultants are experts in delivering holistic, complex and enhanced strategic and operational capabilities. Our approach will remove unnecessary complexity and provide workable solutions focused on delivering a sustainable operational capability.

Boartes’ approach to Capability Development is best articulated through the acronym, POSTED, which assists in aligning the focus of clients, vendors and stakeholders alike. The acronym serves as a frame of reference for the key components that Boartes believe comprise capability. The components of the POSTED approach are:

People	Effective workforce planning and personnel management is needed to ensure retention and maintenance of tacit knowledge.
Organisation	Organisational structures with appropriate balances of personnel, positions and skill sets are required to gain maximum advantage of other elements.
Systems	Both tangible and intangible systems combine to generate efficiency and economies of scale.
