Foundational Economy Capability Development Matrix
The capability development matrix was developed, with funding from Welsh Government, to provide practitioners with a ‘road map’ to Foundational Economy, Community Wealth Building as well and Social Value related resources and interventions.
The matrix organizes available resources into levels to enable organisations to develop appropriate knowledge & skills of individuals and groups. We organized the interventions into seven levels. The levels are indicative, not prescriptive, and designed to outline what resources are available to help practitioners develop basic knowledge of the above concepts at level 1 and robust knowledge and implementation skills at level 7.
The matrix infers:
- Broad engagement of staff reduces as learning intensity increases
- Learner interventions cumulative (interventions combined to enhance knowledge and skills)
- The knowledge & skills of participants increases by level
- Learner time commitment increases by level
- Level of engagement of learners increases by level
- Learner interaction with peers and tutors increases by level
Clicking on a level number (left column) will link to the interventions identified for each level. Scroll down to view the full matrix.
The interventions were discovered during May – July 2023.
Capability Level Required | Appropriate interventions for each level (indicative) | Intervention type (on-demand or in-person attendance) | All organisation members | Groups which require knowledge on FE/CWB and Social Value | Groups which require knowlege and skills to implement FE/CWB or Social Value principles |

Learning about the Circular economy gave us the idea to go back and look at the materials we were using - We have now sourced recycled materials which have led to cost savings and have improved engine performance.
We are talking about partnership with another company [to develop new products] which we would never have talked about before...
Learning about the UX model and human-centred design approach to develop our products was absolutely key to every single project we've worked on.
It gave us an idea of how to design the innovation lab to best fit what we wanted to do.
The structure and mapping are leading to a new mindset and new ideas. We have a completely new way of looking at what we are going to do to address a problem...
We've got real value from the tools and knowledge we've picked up from the programme. We're just starting to see the environmental benefits and cost savings from our investment in the industry 4.0 methods, which is really exciting for us here.
