Building capability often involves navigating a complex maze of competing priorities, elusive outcomes, and solutions that rarely fit the unique rhythm of the organisation. It’s a landscape where one-size-fits-all approaches fall short, and where the pressure to demonstrate tangible impact weighs heavily.
With many years of experience across diverse areas of knowledge and learning, Knowledge E has honed an approach that goes beyond standard models. We craft bespoke capacity-building programmes that speak directly to the ambitions and challenges of each client, delivering growth that is both authentic and enduring.

Methodology: How we work
Our approach to capacity building is hands-on, comprehensive, and results-driven. It begins with analysis, where we engage with key stakeholders to understand current challenges, identify skill gaps, clarify priorities, and define meaningful outcomes. In the design phase, we develop tailored training programmes and consulting activities aligned with those objectives—purpose-built, relevant, and practical. During delivery, we offer flexible levels of involvement, from managing all logistics and learner communications to providing expert facilitators and executing the development programme. Finally, we embed evaluation throughout, using established methods to track progress, capture insights, and assess impact. Each phase is designed to ensure learning is applied in practice, embedded in systems, and shared across teams, building capability that continues to strengthen long after the training ends.
