10.4 The Scamper Technique for Design Thinking
The Scamper method is a structured template for brainstorming and generating ideas. The name comes from the acronym for Substitute-Combine-Adapt-Modify-Put and adds Eliminate and Reverse. The idea is to prompt creative thinking about an existing problem, product, service or idea.
By asking questions related to each of the seven elements of the Template, individuals and teams can methodically explore innovative responses and new possibilities, make improvements or completely reinvent models, solutions, inventions and offerings.
