The Human-Centric Capability Guide: Human-Centric Capability for performance, readiness and organisational agility.
The system behind the capability

See PERFORM as a system before you explore the skills.

Skillogy PERFORM™ is not a catalogue of development topics. It is a connected human-capability architecture that links effective performance now, readiness for greater responsibility and future organisational capability — then carries learning through workplace application to evidence and value.

Skillogy PERFORM™ Human-Centric Capability Guide

From human skill to workplace capability.

Explore the integrated Human-Centric Skills that underpin performance across Self Performance, Manager Performance and Leadership Impact. The Guide shows how the 30 skills connect within one architecture of 215 Defined Abilities.

What capability means

Capability is more than knowing the answer.

A Human-Centric Skill Check can test understanding. PERFORM capability goes further: it is demonstrated through relevant workplace application, judgement and evidence of effective outcomes.

1

Understand

Build the knowledge and understanding associated with the Human-Centric Skill and its component abilities.

2

Apply

Bring the relevant abilities into action through the demands of the role, task, relationship or decision.

3

Adapt

Use judgement to adjust behaviour and approach to the situation rather than applying a technique mechanically.

4

Evidence

Demonstrate capability through the quality, consistency and impact of workplace performance and outcomes.

How to use the Guide

Use capability as adevelopment map, not a label.

Roles draw on different combinations of Human-Centric Skills. The Guide helps individuals and organisations identify where development should begin and how related capability can be strengthened.

For individuals

Start with relevance. Select the skill that matters to your current work, test your understanding, then develop and apply the relevant abilities in context. Use related clusters to identify the next useful area of development.

For organisations

Start with responsibilities. Identify the Human-Centric Skills required for roles, transitions or strategic priorities, then align learning, application, coaching and evidence to the capability needed for performance.

Choose your next step

Explore. Test. Develop. Apply.
