Once the vision is defined, as further described here, one must decide how to make the change.

In deciding how to make the change, one should ask:

1. What precise items need to change?
2. How can we make the change?
3. Which strategy for implementing each change would minimize disruption to the business?
4. Which strategy for implementing each change would be most likely to result in attaining our goals?
5. What is the worst thing that can happen from selection of the strategy to make the change?
6. How can we mitigate the negative impact from this strategy?

Step 4 of implementing practical solutions is to select and develop the strategy.
