In working through step 4 a business will probably identify a series of changes that could be made to develop design capability. As with any development some changes can probably be made quickly and integrated into existing activities, others will only be implemented in the long term. The timing of developments will depend on available resources and the speed with which the culture of the organisation can absorb change. In order to prioritise developments it can be useful to undertake some form of cost benefit analysis on each suggestion.
