But what if after ...Good stuff and good technique. But what if after you spend all the time building a prototype, they still don't want to go for it? For instance, I had a client who wanted me to reproduce a training which I felt was non-engaging, boring and stiff. I created a mock-up of a training which presented a humorous scenario at the beginning. However, they felt it was too humorous and wanted it to be more corporate. Translation: Linear, non-engaging, boring.
