Capability Modelling
Capability modelling helps identify and define
an organisation’s current and future capability needs, in line with
its overall strategy. By developing a clear understanding of these
capability requirements, key modelling activities can be undertaken
in preparing a solid platform for technology acquisition.
VEGA’s approach to capability modelling
Based on more than five years’ work with
large-scale organisations such as the UK MOD and the European Space
Agency, VEGA has the experience and knowledge to provide
independent capability modelling advice and support to help
organisations define their capability requirements. This
includes:
- Business analysis –
understanding the gap between the business now and the business as
the leadership wishes it to be
- Operational context – identifying specific,
non-functional constraints that limit or bound an acquisition
- Concept studies – exploring alternative
approaches or solutions and their impact on the capability
requirement
- Capability trade-off – comparing different
possible acquisition scenarios, according to budget, timescale,
availability, risk, security, etc
- User requirements –
identifying and documenting specific functional requirements, i.e.
exactly what capability is needed
- System requirements
– documenting how the system will meet specific user requirements
and the relevant acceptance criteria
In order to maximise the effectiveness of any
capability modelling exercise, VEGA engages specialists from a
variety of disciplines and markets, rather than those directly
related to the technology acquisition.
