SCAMPER - My cheatcode to creativity

  • S = Substitute
  • C = Combine
  • A = Adapt
  • M = Modify
  • P = Put to Other Uses
  • E = Eliminate (or Minify)
  • R = Reverse
Within SCAMPER itself, some tools are easier to execute as compared to others. From my SCAMPER experience, I feel that combine is easier as compared to Substitute.

SCAMPER in my view is a cheat code to create creative outputs. It some sense it is a beginners' guide to creativity.

However, I feel that SCAMPER has it's limitations as well. It might result to "wild" hybrids, unfeasible concepts and ideas that are too futuristic that current technology cannot support.
