The notion that organisations need to find new ways to manage in a global and turbulent environment is now a well worn concept in the 1990s. In particular the importance of developing and managing human resources along humanistic lines has been an important theme in the management literature. However, it is interesting how many of our human resource development and management practices still stay the same, based on old paradigms of control and power. This paper describes the idea of developing and managing for individual and organisational capability, a concept originating in the UK and being progressed in Australia. Capable people, as defined in this paper, are more than competent. They are creative, know how to learn, have a high level of self-efficacy, can use competencies in novel as well as familiar situations and work well in teams. It is our contention that the idea of capability provides a framework for better human resource development and management that is easily understood, and may enable people to overcome resistance to change. The basis of this paper is a study of ten Australian organisations and how they have developed their capability in a rapidly changing world. A specific case study from the construction and mining industry is provided as an illustration of the concept.
