Capacity Development FT Ibitayo Ogunbanwo

The intricacies of Capacity Building in its simplest term are growing the skills and the abilities you have.

Capacity and capability are used interchangeably but are not totally the same. Capacity is basically what is contained in you or what you can contain and capability is your ability to do things.

Ibitayo Ogunbanwo, ACIPM, AITD, the head of development at Kennedia Consulting Ltd gave insights on Capacity Building as our guest on SIGNALS on Lagos Talks 91.3 FM.

He said capacity development is beyond just training but a continuous endeavor. He identified practicing what has been learned as a key index to measuring capacity development.

He advised students who are currently at home due to the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) strike to see themselves as an entity, put in a little investment, and what is the investment? Time management, self-development.

There are lots of things to learn online. Free courses on YouTube, Coursera, Udemy, and the like. There are practically a lot of things to do and learn.

He spoke on the need for companies to tweak their policies so as to accommodate Gen Z, who he described as smart, sort-fused, and a must-have in the workplace.
Ibitayo Ogunbanwo, ACIPM, AITD, an ardent believer in teamwork said more success will be recorded if all team members are working on the same goal. With good coercion, each team member lets go of their pride and ego and aim at the goal to win.

2. Conscious incompetence
3. Conscious competence
4. Unconscious competence
