AHRI course alumni room
Everything from the course, in one place.
Welcome. Whether you attended last month or years ago, this is where the research behind AHRI's Developing a Capability Framework course lives. Bookmark it, because I'll keep adding to it.
Last updated 12 Oct 2026Next up: a library of public frameworks
I'm compiling the best publicly available frameworks across multiple domains, so you can see how others have structured theirs before you build your own.
When it's ready, I'll email you and add it here.

What alumni and clients say
Frameworks people actually use
Attended this course
"…didn't try to sell us a rebuild we didn't need."
I first came across Ben when he facilitated AHRI's Developing a Capability Framework course. He later supported HNC to review and audit our existing capability framework. He is genuinely knowledgeable about capability and competency design and generous with his sharing of information. Ben gave us a recommendations report we could act on immediately. He was easy to work with from the first conversation, understood the capacity we had to work with on the project, and didn't try to sell us a rebuild we didn't need. I would very happily work with Ben again in the future.

"What I really appreciate about Ben is that he works with you. He is very generous with his knowledge, and will also challenge you when he thinks something isn't going to work or could be done differently."
Helen ThompsonCapability Partner, McNab Group
Attended this course
"He is exceptionally easy to work with. Calm, practical, and completely without the consultant polish that usually gets in the way."
Sandra DouganDirector of Human Resources, The Calile Hotel
"He has an excellent depth of knowledge. And he shares that knowledge in a supportive way, without even a hint of condescension."
I've spent fourteen years building capability frameworks, competency frameworks, skills taxonomies and job architecture, and I facilitated this course. If what you learned has left you with a framework to build, review or keep alive, you can see how I work with organisations.
