Quantifying the cost of not changing | Improvement and Innovatio. The need for improvement and change in most organisations is apparent, and targets can be set. But what are the costs of not changing? This article investigates… As business leaders a large proportion of time these days is spent in assessing the need for change, costs associated with these changes and then deciding do we go or “no-go”. Because the cost of change is fairly easily determined by adding the foreseeable components to come up with a total, here we will discuss the costs of remaining in the current status quo, and as we will find this cost can be difficult to quantify in a spreadsheet and trade off diagrams.
The motivation for change arises when we observe our current results as no longer being sufficient to meet our needs.

Even though its Flash technology is used as a punching bag by web standards fans, Adobe has been working hard to embrace HTML5. The company released its own HTML5 video player, and Adobe Illustrator and Dreamweaver CS5 contain a number of new HTML5 export tools. Now Adobe is turning its HTML5 attentions to Flash with the release of Wallaby, a new Flash-to-HTML5 converter. Wallaby is a free Adobe AIR application that allows designers and developers to convert Adobe Flash files (FLAs) into standards-based HTML5, CSS 3 and Javascript files.
Wallaby isn’t quite ready for prime time yet, but you can grab the pre-release version from Adobe Labs if you’d like to experiment. Adobe first showed off Wallaby at the company’s MAX conference last year and the target use was pretty clear: Apple’s iOS devices. Since iOS doesn’t support Adobe Flash, developers using Flash for their web content need an alternate solution for iOS mobile devices — enter Wallaby. See Also: Jupiter Broadcasting.
