The document describes the SCAMPER method for inspiring creativity. It begins by introducing the five members of the team presenting information on SCAMPER. It then explains that SCAMPER stands for Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to other uses, Eliminate, and Rearrange. Each step of SCAMPER is described in detail with examples of how it can be applied. The document emphasizes that SCAMPER can be used to generate many novel ideas and should not be given up on easily. It concludes by crediting various sources for information on SCAMPER.

- 3. Do you believe that creativity is GIFTED? And we can NOTlearn how to create special things.
- 5. I. What is S.C.A.M.P.E.R

- 8. II. How to use S.C.A.M.P.E.R
- 10. Substitute
- 11. Problem solving Thinking about replacingComing up with new ideas
- 12. Helper QuestionsCan I use other ingredients or materials?Can I change its color, toughness, sound or smell?Can the rules be changed?Can I use this idea in a different place?What if I change its name?
- 13. Trigger Words
- 14. Combine
- 15. Combining unrelated ideas, goods, or services to create something new.
- 16. Helper QuestionsWhat can be combined to maximize the number of uses?Can I combine different talents to improve it?What ideas or parts can be combined?Can I combine or merge it with other objects?Where can I build synergy?
- 18. Adapt
- 19. Think about taking an existing idea to solve your problem.
- 20. The solution of your problem is probably out there already.
- 21. Bear in mind that some new ideas or inventions are borrowed to some degrees.
- 22. “I can adapt ... in this way ... to ...”
- 23. Helper QuestionsIs there something similar to it, but in a different context?What could I borrow ?Whom could I emulate?What different contexts can I put my concept in?What ideas outside my field can I incorporate?

- 25. For instance, the problem is:"How can KFC increase sales in its business?"
- 26. S (Substitute): "What can It substitute in selling process?”
- 27. C (Combine): "How can It combine selling with other activities?”
- 28. A (Adapt): "What can It adapt or copy from someone else’s selling process?"Instead of using waiters , customers can serve themselves. Creating a new service It can bring restaurants with real estate instead of simply hamburgers. Making more profitIt can adapt COMBO sets with bundle pricing to attract more people. Offering customers more choices. They can have a discount if they use COMBO.
- 29. When you face one issue, do you want to expand or simplify it?Negative simplifyPositive expand
- 30. Magnify
- 32. Helper QuestionsWhat can be exaggerated or overstated?Can I increase its frequency?What can be magnified or made larger?Can I add extra features or somehow add extra value?Can I make multiple copies?
- 34. Put to other uses
- 35. Helper QuestionsAre there other possible uses if it’s modified?How would children or older people use it?What else can it be used for?How would people with different disabilities use it?Are there new ways to use it in its current shape or form?
- 37. For instance, the problem is:"I want to invent a new type of pen.”
- 38. Substitute - ink with carbon.
- 39. Combine - sketches on paper become electronic graphics .
- 40. Adapt - pen top as a flashlight.
- 41. Modify - body to be flexible.
- 42. Put to other uses - use to touch on the computer’s screen.Eliminate
- 44. Think of what might happen if you eliminate or minimize parts of your idea.
- 45. Simplify, reduce, eliminate non-essential components.
- 46. Through repeating that, you can ensure that only important parts or functions are remained.
- 47. Helper QuestionsCan the rules be eliminated?How can I simplify it?What’s non-essential or unnecessary?Should I split it into different parts?What if I made it smaller?
- 49. Rearrange
- 50. Change your way of thinking
- 51. Think of what you would do if parts of your business were done in a different way.
- 52. Or they even worked in reverse order.
- 53. Helper QuestionsCan I transpose positives and negatives?What other arrangement might be better?Can I transpose cause and effect?What if I consider it backwards?Should I turn it around? Up and down.

- 55. Substitute - ink with carbon.

- 57. Adapt - pen top as a flashlight.
- 58. Modify - body to be flexible.
- 59. Put to other uses - use to touch on the computer’s screen.
- 60. Eliminate – instead of putting the pen in the pocket. You can wear it as a necklace.
- 61. Rearrange – can write by both top or bottom of the pen.
- 62. III. Why we needS.C.A.M.P.E.R
- 63. SCAMPER can be used either in person(which is not its strength) or in group brainstorming sessions (in which there are time constrains and lack of innovative ideas).
- 64. In specific situation, DO NOT say “DON’T know”.Try your best to find out the answer for each questions by SCAMPERS.
- 65. In specific situation, DO NOT say “DON’T know”, try your best to find out the answer for each questions by SCAMPERS.This is your problem, your job, your work, your opportunity so you should know which are principle questions. Take time to think about the answers and NEVER give up.
- 68. Hope you can find out tons of special ideas in the future!
Editor's Notes
- #11: SubstituteThink about replacing part of the problem, product or process with something else. By looking for replacements you can often come up with new ideas. You can change things, places, procedures, people, ideas, and even emotions.
- #13: Helper QuestionsCan I replace or change any parts?Can I replace someone involved?Can the rules be changed?Can I use other ingredients or materials?Can I use other processes or procedures?Can I change its shape?Can I change its color, roughness, sound or smell?What if I change its name?Can I substitute one part for another?Can I use this idea in a different place?Can I change my feelings or attitude towards it?
- #15: CombineThink about combining two or more parts of your problem to create a different product or process or to enhance their synergy. A great deal of creative thinking involves combining previously unrelated ideas, goods, or services to create something new.
