If one lacks the skills to do so, either get back to school and learn
them, grab some books and dive in on, or get a bigger budget to hire
people who can help them build prototypes. Whichever path one takes,
I don't think one can ever underestimate the value and importance of
building functioning prototypes. Ever.

I think we are slowly transforming the way software is created.  I would
guess that roughly 99% of software today is still created by taking some
requirements, throwing them at a dev team, iterate some builds and change
a few things, and then release.  No design team.  This is changing as users
expectations are increased by software products that raise the bar through
appropriate design processes.  But at the moment, it is still very difficult
to insert a design phase that includes the development of interactive prototypes
and testing of those prototypes, as well as the resources to accomplish that.

(Much easier for consultants and agencies who are contracted to create something
and can follow whatever process they desire)
