The Capacity Rating Workbook outlines the methods for calculating and using capacity ratings. It covers techniques used for decades as well as newer techniques. Discussion questions help readers examine their current practices.
What’s in the Workbook
The workbook is printed and contains the following:
- Explains what capacity ratings are and how they are used
- Breaks down the different data pieces used in capacity ratings
- Demonstrates creating a ratings calculator in Excel
- Discusses ratings for foundations, corporations, and non-U.S. prospects
- Provides discussion questions for personal or group use
Please note that this workbook is designed to accompany group discussions and practice facilitated by an expert. This workbook is NOT designed as stand-alone ratings calculation instruction. It works best when paired with other learning opportunities, such as our on-demand Capacity Ratings Workshop (available with Research Focused membership), your institution’s new hire training, or even local seminars or conferences.
