The Capable NZ difference

The Capable NZ process centres you and your own career – you’ll reflect on where you’ve come from, where you are now, and where you want to go.

You will:

• identify early experiences and influences that have shaped you, and how these relate to your working life
• analyse your work and life experiences and skills, and evaluate your strengths and capabilities
• identify, access and research relevant practice theories, models, tools, frameworks, and reflect on how these might inform and influence your work
• propose and complete a project, carried out in an organisation you work for or with, have a key functional relationship with, or in your self-employment.

One key point of difference with Capable NZ study at this level is that you will undertake an in-depth industry-relevant project. This could be developing a new process, entering a new market, responding to stakeholders, fostering innovation or addressing internal organisational culture, for example. You can then research and define this issue, develop an approach for resolving it, and implement processes to achieve your desired outcomes.
