Organisational Capability Assessments

What would you expect to discover from such an activity? What sort of things do you think it should investigate?

I haven't conducted this personally but it has been conducted in my workplace. This is in a pure BA branch. Generally you will discover the competency level of the BA's, which in turn should help drive training needs for the BA's in the organisation.

I have always loved cooking. I learned from my Grandma June and her kitchen was her sanctuary, a small, warm sunlit space filled with jars of spices, stacks of cookbooks, and the comforting smell of something always on the stove or baking in the oven. Grandma June was as great a cook as she was a teacher to me. She never followed a recipe “to...
