IMPLEMENTATION 266. Go Away Take a break between deciding on the solution and starting the implementation. Imagine you’re seeing the situation for the first time. Watch a classic “forgotten identity” film like Bourne Identity to get into the right mindset. 267. Create a Bat Signal If delegating the solution to someone else, create the equivalent of a “Bat Signal” for them to use if they need your help1. 268. Mock Your Solution Create a mock–up before building the actual solution. Have fun with any placeholders you use. If you have a mock–up that includes a logo that has yet to be designed, use the logo of your favorite candy or sports team until your logo is completed. 269. Show Model Behavior Build a model of your solution before fully implementing it. Have it walk a “runway” to show it off. 1 It could be as simple as a set email header or as cool as lighted sign. 140
