Human Capabilities for Value Creation - Survey

Taking a cue from Gary Hamel's book we thought about human capabilities that contribute to value creation. The result is the following survey.

As part of our continuous explorations in organizational innovation space at Crafitti Consulting, we are conducting a invite-only survey to find out relative importance of various human capabilities in large and small organizations or even at individual level, in creating value and competitive advantage.

In this regard, we have designed a survey instrument which is based on Crafitti’s way of capturing specific relative preferences. The MS Excel file’s first sheet invites pairwise relative comparisons on seven key human capabilities that we have included for this study. These are – Passion, Creativity, Initiative, Intellect, Diligence, Obedience, and Adaptability.

If you want to participate in this survey, kindly send an email to me at navneet.bhushan@crafitti.com. I will send you the survey instrument. The results will be shared as a detailed report.

As of now we have the following results

Look forward to your inputs

Gary Hamel says in The Future of Management

"Today, obedience, diligence, and expertise can be bought for next to nothing. From Bangalore to Guangzhou, they have become global commodities"

He further gives a Table of relative contribution of specific human capabilities in value creation and comes up with following Table

Passion 35%
Creativity 25%
Initiative 20%
Intellect 15%
Diligence 05%
Obedience 00%
----------------------------
Total 100%
----------------------------

He further states and I quote, "... rule-following employees are worth zip in terms of competitive advantage they generate"
