Training, Readiness, and Capability: A Performance-Critical Distinction

A modern infographic in brown, orange, and gold tones shows a progression from Training to Readiness to Capability. On the left, “Training” is paired with an icon of a clipboard and gear and the text “Skills & Knowledge.” In the center, “Readiness” appears with a walking figure and the phrase “Prepared to Start.” On the right, “Capability” is illustrated with a target and upward chart labeled “Consistent Performance.” Across the top, the headline reads “Know the Difference!
