When results for each of the 15 areas of questioning within the Design Atlas framework have been collated on the Design Atlas results sheet, attention can be turned to making recommendations for change.

If a business wants to improve its capability in any area of activity there are a variety of different routes that can be followed for implementing new thinking. For example, a business could invest in training, new policies and procedures, new staff with relevant skills profiles, etc. The most appropriate route will always be dictated by individual circumstances.

Examples of recommendations for design capability development that can be made for an organisation are described in Part 3 of this guide entitled: Responding to Design Atlas findings.
