OS：Val
Respected surgeon：Kevin
Innovative engineer：Philip
Rest of engineers：Alvin, Pei-Chi

OS：Push ideas into a more tangible, visual form as quickly as possible. It’s OK to present less-polished prototypes.

OS：A meeting is in session, they are discussing desired features for a new nasal surgery device.

Respected surgeon：We need a new kind of nasal surgery device. Do you have any ideas? (No response) It has to be easy-handled. (Gesturing for several seconds) (No response) We could also see if the new device can do something else. (hand-waved)

Innovative engineer：Oh！( standing up suddenly) (slowly turning to the audience) I should take a try！(bolting out of the room)

Respected surgeon：What’s he doing?

Rest of engineers：(Looking at each other and then speaking simultaneously) I have no idea.

(Respected surgeon continues to ask for the answer) (Still no response)

(Innovative engineers returns to the room with the prototype)

Innovative engineer：Are you thinking of something like this?

Respected surgeon：Yes, something like This！

OS：That initial crude prototype got the project rolling. If you’re used to polished, refined prototype, you may loose the opportunity. By the way, the sophisticated Surgical System which is used in thousands of operations annually today traces its origins to this initial model.
