Turning distributed knowledge into a shared capability picture
The assessment can be conducted through a structured multidisciplinary working session involving the people responsible for maintaining and developing the capability.
The process brings together different professional perspectives and examines how the capability actually functions across organisational boundaries.
Participants consider
- what currently exists;
- how it works in practice;
- responsibilities and interfaces;
- available evidence;
- coordination between stakeholders;
- changes since previous development;
- capability that has been maintained;
- areas where development may have slowed;
- priorities for further development.
The working process itself can contribute to capability development by creating a shared understanding across the multidisciplinary DVI system.
