S.C.A.M.P.E.RIII. Why we need

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).

In specific situation,

DO NOT say “DON’T know”.

Try your best to find out the answer for each

questions by SCAMPERS.

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

Take time to think about the answers and

NEVER give up.

Hope you can find out tons of special ideas in the future!
