Cultivating and Developing the Potential of an Organization,
by David Marsing, Vice President, Intel

Many organizations find themselves in situations that stretch the known capability of their collective experience, knowledge and capacity. The manifestations of these situations often lead to frustration due to missed opportunities, low morale and misuse of individual's inherent capability and strengths. This discussion will focus on how to develop the understanding and appreciation of the individual capability and potential and the capacity and potential of teams, groups, larger organizations and even communities. This process has to start with an understanding of one's nature, attributes and ways of processing information and learning. It needs to include the appreciation of the diversity of these characteristics within a group of people. When integrated with the intrinsic and cognitive knowledge that exists at the individual level and within the relationships, we often find a surprising untapped resource and capability with staggering potential. Imagine the power of a motivated group of people who understand their collective capacity and potential.
