The idea of capability, popularised through the Royal Society for Arts Education for Capability project, is applicable to the growing need for professionals to move beyond discipline-specific expertise and engage with what Schön (1987) terms the swampy lowland of practice. Middlesex University has developed a generic doctorate designed to assist practising professionals and managers to enhance their high-level capability. Candidates joining the doctorate are required to complete a reflective Review of Previous Learning, describing their development to date and demonstrating preparedness for doctoral work. While common themes emerge of working with change and taking the lead, these Reviews point to capability as based in personally unique envelopes of abilities. They emphasise the central role of experiential learning to developing high-level capability, and the importance of opportunities and resources for personal and professional growth, events or circumstances which provide turning-points or spurs to action, and practitioners own motivations to succeed or change.
