Review

Assessment using the Design Atlas framework will hopefully provide insights into how an organisation could make more effective use of design. This should not be seen as a one-off exercise, instead there should be a process of review once the business has implemented any recommendations for change. By using the Design Atlas framework to conduct such reviews the business will be able to track its progress towards improving design capability, ideally on an annual basis.
