Many managers these days are conducting capacity assessments for their organizations. Such an analysis is a great organizational development resource. In addition, capacity assessment tools can be used by any individual to analyze their life mission, to strategically plan for the future, and manage the daily activities.

Step 1. Before you proceed with developing your personal capacity assessment tool, consider the following questions used before developing any organizational capacity assessment methods:

• why are you analyzing yourself?
• what information do you need in order to analyze yourself?

Step 2. Develop your personal capacity assessment tool.

Step 3. Data collection and analysis.

• network with your connections (colleagues, friends, family, etc.)
• read your own papers, materials, resume, CV, statements of interest, etc.
• analyze the information

Step 4. Recommendations and conclusions

• develop recommendations for personal development
• draft short term and long term strategic plans.

I would like to encourage you to create and post on this website your personal capacity assessment tools.
