“A prototype is worth a thousand mock-ups,” as the saying goes. By definition a prototype is interactive.

They’re your most engaged users, which make them valuable. They reach out to you first and give you feedback.

In his latest letter to shareholders, Amazon’s CEO, Jeff Bezos, distinguished between two corporate operating models : Day 1 and Day 2. The former requires an organization to be customer-obsessed, ignoring all other constraints. The latter, more traditional approach, is to appease a broad range of stakeholders, and to rely on existing processes and resources when making decisions.
