Thanks for the response.
What according to you does the 'Ability to Contribute' stand for?
Is it contribution during the program, in class and outside, or contribution to the INSEAD community as an alum or is it about showing how the applicant has contributed to the past workplaces and other organizations he/she has been a part of?

This honestly pretty open-ended. Quite often I will have someone discuss how they have contributed to extracurriculars in the past and how that might translate over to their involvement with insead, other times I focus on more of their being instead of their doing...something about the unique perspective they will bring or skills they have as a team player. Just focus on how you will enrich the perspective and experience of your colleagues there. Consider how you are unrepeatable... and they need you or they're going to be missing out on XYZ

INSEAD explains the 'Ability to contribute' so as to remove this ambiguity-
"We look for participants who can share the insights they have gained throughout their professional and personal experience. It is our belief that a substantial part of your INSEAD experience will be shaped by your interaction with your classmates and your active participation both inside and outside the classroom. As such, we welcome participants who are mature, energetic, highly motivated, well-rounded, and possess strong communication and interpersonal skills."
So school is primarily looking for people who would be able to contribute to INSEAD community both inside and outside the classroom. But to demonstrate the same, you will have to provide instances from your work-place, previous academic institutions etc.
