The Capability Readiness Review™

Find the real problem before you invest in the solution.

The first step before investing in training, consultancy or capability development. Most organisations know something isn't working — few know whether it's a capability, leadership, process, governance, workforce or training issue. This is the structured diagnosis I run with every client, now available free as a self-assessment.

What it is

A diagnostic, not a sales tool. The Capability Readiness Review tests how clearly you can answer the ten questions that determine whether an intervention will actually work — and shows where the risk really sits. It's built on the Prelude Capability Model™.

Prelude Capability Model™

How capability actually delivers performance.

Our primary framework. Performance is traced from mission down to evidence — when any layer is missing, capability fails, and no amount of training fixes it.

Six dimensions. One real problem.

Before investing in a solution, the Review tests performance across the six places the problem actually lives.
