Why Create an Industry Leading Capability Statement?

In order to make an impression on the market, your professional capability needs to be affirmed. While the success of your business is based on the quality of your products and services, the value you create needs to be defined and communicated with clarity and confidence.

A capability statement is a distilled summary of all your capabilities. More than a list of what you can do, it is a visual snapshot that asserts your relevance and helps to define your place in the market. A good capability statement makes a powerful impact in a concise and meaningful package.

To be effective, a capability statement needs to be current and kept up-to-date. This small but mighty document is between 2 and 4 pages long, which means it can be read in 5-10 minutes and shared easily between clients and stakeholders for easy reference.

A capability statement shows:

• How you will solve specific problems
• Information relevant to specific customers
• What makes you different from the competition

Our capability statements include the following core elements:

First Impressions

Our capability statements are designed to flow from front to back, with custom documents created and templates never used. The capabilities of your business are expressed through memorable taglines, considered quotes, and design elements that reflect your company logo, icon, and brand identity.

Positive Culture

Our capability statements highlight the unique values that make your business tick. From corporate culture and mission statements to OH&S compliance, environmental values, and ISOs, we will help you to stand tall in your industry sector.

Reliable Deliverables

Our capability statements reinforce professional credibility and everyday reliability with graphics and tables. Along with your products and services, we highlight industry expertise, operational processes, accreditations, certifications, and professional associations.

Undeniable Proof

Our capability statements include a list of bullet points to highlight why you're the best choice. We also include case study tables to break down your offerings and define your results.
