5 Common Language and Core Capabilities: Skills to Identify and Foster New Solutions

In Chapter 4 we described Transformational Skills as those skills necessary for any employee to recognize and identify a need as an “opportunity,” frame it in a comprehensive manner (as an input/transformation/output system), execute it to completion (solution) using all available resources (inside the company, outside, and across the globe), and also ensure that the results are tangible, quantifiable, and of maximum impact to all stakeholders. We address the skills necessary for identification, development and implementation of New Solutions here and in the next two chapters.
