Technique Number Three: The Scheming Process
Step 1: Identify the problem
Step 2: Invent a solution that is not a solution
Step 3: Present the non-solution as a real solution, with charts and graphs
Step 4: Deny that the non-solution is a non-solution, and call it a "creative approach"
Step 5: Bask in the glory of our genius, until the next conundrum arises
Next Steps:
Implement Technique Number Four: The Scheming-By-Proxy Method, where we delegate all decisions to our intern, Bucky
Or, if that doesn't work out, we can try Technique Number Five: The Scheming-By-Retreat Method, where we take a three-day weekend off to recharge and come back to the table with a fresh perspective (or a better excuse)
