Strategic Initiatives, Inc. is a recognized leader in co-creating fresh strategies, solutions, and capabilities that position commercial, government, and non-profit enterprises for competitive success in the 21st Century. Our proven services in technology-enabled transformation and knowledge sharing have assisted many client enterprises to acquire, repurpose, and refresh competences faster, better, and to greater strategic impact than their competitors.

Strategic Initiatives has launched a new, unique service that builds, enhances, and leverages organizational capacity to compete through competence. We call this service Competence 2.0 ™. We are deploying this service to commercial, government, and non-profit enterprises in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Australasia. This new approach leverages communal learning and social networking tools to identify early on emerging trends in skills and capacities, anticipates the implications of these trends, and then proactively responds to the need for continuously refreshing these (socially-networked) skills, abilities, and capacities so that individuals can:

• remain competitive (e.g., job seekers and current employees need to get smarter and be more flexible in how they become competent, and how they deploy and re-purpose what they learn in current work environments to future opportunities);
• continuously increase personal productivity;
• respond and adjust to change (whether incremental or radical);
• collaborate more effectively and efficiently; and
• make appropriate use of relevant technological and socio-technical advances (e.g., Web 2.0, ubiquitous telecomputing, and decision-support via artificial intelligence) to track and adapt to changes in the body of knowledge in their field, and to changes in the associated professional practices and competences.

Strategic Initiatives’ consulting teams are deploying these Competence 2.0 ™ services, which involve substantial cultural change in the way organizations acquire, repurpose, and compete on competence and knowledge. These services transform organizational learning but also processes of leadership development, strategic planning, business process reinvention, and capacity building.
