1.2.4 Dual C/I-Thinkers
Dual C/I-Thinkers combine both mind sets when modeling. They have not learned to free themselves of I-Think, and yet they understand C-Think. In the Dual C/I-Think stage, the most important things to understand are:
- When to work as a C-Thinker
- When to work as an I-Thinker
- How to put aside I-Think considerations and reservations in the search for the "perfect" conceptual model
- How to take a C-Think database design and alter its implementation so that it will work within a performance budget and its conceptual integrity remains intact.
Once the Dual C/I-Thinkers understand the when and how, they will quite quickly evolve into a New World C-Thinker when modeling and designing applications.
