Institutional Development and Capacity Building

Institutional development is about people and their institutions. Its primary concern is to facilitate effective working institutions, and to construct approaches to how these institutions can be creatively engineered to deliver smartly and effectively on their mandate from stakeholders. It is also concerned with facilitating and enshrining sound work ethic and enduring values as well as mobilizing the people’s collective genius in executing specific tasks, and in generally discharging their functions optimally, for the success of the institution. (Prince-Abbi, 1998). 

Today’s organizations are faced with the pressure exerted by intense competition, as well as that imposed by the forces of technology  and ever-shifting values migration to the intractable world of the cloud.  Along with this, is the increasing importance of intellectual capital as critical for the success of the organization today.  More and more is increasingly required from today’s organizations and their leaders  –  to simply succeed, let alone excel. A highly effective organization is the key to achieving this, and perhaps the only sustainable source of competitive advantage.
