The research behind Capability Realization.
Capability Realization is the organizational discipline concerned with measuring and improving the rate at which available capability is converted into realized value.
The study tests whether capability alone is insufficient to explain value, and whether coherence and realization drag explain why similarly capable organizations produce different outcomes.
Why do organizations with similar levels of capability produce materially different levels of realized value?
Not a maturity model.
- ×A maturity model
- ×A training needs analysis
- ×A benefits realization framework
- ×A technology adoption score
- ×An AI readiness assessment
- ×A performance management system
It is focused on the conversion relationship between capability and value.
Five measurements.
Capability Index
Measures what the organization can reliably do.
Coherence Index
Measures whether capability domains operate together as a purposeful system.
Realization Drag
Measures the friction that suppresses conversion.
Value Realization Score
Measures whether capability is producing evidenced outcomes.
Realization Gap
Estimates the gap between available capability and realized value.
Among organizations with similar levels of capability, those with higher coherence will show higher value realization.
Value claims should be interpreted based on evidence quality.
- 01Experimental or quasi-experimental evidence
- 02Before and after comparison
- 03Correlational evidence
- 04Directional evidence with supporting data
- 05Claimed value without supporting data
This is an emerging research program. Early results are directional until the instrument has been validated through a sufficiently large benchmark sample.
