SCAMPER Idea Generation SCAMPER is an acronym that is used to help prompt creative ideas for improving existing products or services or creating new innovations. The letters in SCAMPER stand for substitute, combine, adapt, modify, put to another use, eliminate, and reverse. Each letter is associated with a string of questions that can be asked about existing products to discover methods of improvement or entirely new opportunities. As an innovation model and process tool, SCAMPER can be used to generate ideas for improving existing offerings or business processes or innovating completely new products and services. Whatever its purpose, your innovation team should brainstorm a list of as many answers to the questions as possible and determine, which, if any of them are a feasible solution that can be used either to refine existing products or services or fabricate new ones. The best ideas should then be further developed. 1 Want more best practices? Visit Praxie.com
