S6 · Deliberate people and capability development
strategy · Pillar: people · Status: staged
Build capability on purpose — clear responsible parties per platform and per objective, structured cross-training treated as capability (not only risk cover), in-house control of vendor-/individual-dependent instruments, individual development, and continuity of responsibility during absence — recognizing that CTP’s expertise base is its core asset and its principal risk.
In brief: Our expertise is CTP’s core asset; we build it on purpose and keep it resilient through change.
Full name: Deliberate People and Capability Development over Ad-Hoc Coverage. The choice: we prioritize this over ad-hoc coverage and individual heroics.
Drives goals: G03 · Sustainable and Resilient Research Infrastructure · G04 · Scalable Research Enablement and Institutional Value
Enables: M01 · CTP Mission
Priority actions for the coming cycle:
- Clear responsible parties for each platform
- A capability-development program (cross-training and growth)
- Bring vendor- or individual-dependent instruments (e.g., Chemspeed, HTS) into shared in-house capability
- Coverage and continuity plans for absences and transitions
Draws on T19, T23, T24, T33 in addition to T39–T45.
