This handbook offers a guide to use the Capability Approach to IO projects. It is intended for two groups of users: the
project managers of IO implementation projects within a business area (e.g. a new field or upgrading in a field); and
corporate IO responsible (e.g. global IO in the company). The handbook provides the outline of the steps in the Capability
Approach, and for each step highlighting the purpose, who should be involved, and how to perform the step
including typical reflection points. In addition, a case example is provided to illustrate the performance of each of the
steps, referring to our experiences with the method.
