SCAMPER is a tool that activates creativity and problem-solving skills.
problems. Essentially, it is a list of questions that empowers and forces to think and see from different
way to solutions to a problem. Its central idea is based on the fact that everything new is a
reinvention, a modification of what already exists. This method was created in the mid-20th century by Bob
Eberle, based on Alex Osborn's 'Brainstorming'. SCAMPER is an acronym (a
mnemonic) in English, where each of its letters references an action to study when faced with
any challenge.
To apply this method, a series of questions are formulated for each of the SCAMPER items.
related to the problem and alternatives or solutions that resulted from the application
from the tree technique proposed in the Logical Framework Approach. This in order to generate
different responses and ideas that contribute to innovation and the solution of the central problem.
Substitute
Can any part be replaced or changed?
It is possible to use different platforms or software for the development of the application,
different servers, spatial location satellites and regarding the tangible pieces
They can use different types of headphones.
Can other materials be used?
During the design stage, it is possible to analyze and approve the different materials that are
they can use.
Can other processes or procedures be used?
Just like the use of materials, as the project develops, generating a
process flow diagram to follow, it will have a more detailed view that will allow to carry out
improvements in the process.
Can it be changed in shape?
Being a product/service presented on a virtual platform makes it suitable for being
quite flexible. Custom changes based on customer requirements can be
to be carried out in the properties of the application.
Can this idea be used in a different place?
Initially, the project is planned for the urban area of Bogotá, but it can provide
I reach different places in the world, making the application increasingly robust.
Combine
Can purposes and intentions be combined?
As it is a tool that is used through electronic devices, it is possible
establish allies such as telecommunication service providers, as well as
producers of electronic devices.
What other items could be mixed with this?
Within the application, alternatives for leisure venues and/or providers can be presented.
of service (restaurants, hotels, cinemas, parks, etc.). Clearly these organizations are
they will benefit and it will be possible to receive support from them.
Can they be combined or fused with other objects? Can they be combined to maximize the
number of uses?
It is possible to add other functions and features that cover more people with
different conditions.
Can different talents be combined to improve it?
It is clearly a field purely of programming, but devices could be adapted.
electronic or mechanical to provide much more functionality.
Adapt
What else is like this? What other idea does this suggest?
Currently, there are applications to facilitate the use of electronic devices, to
provide information about certain places and topics of interest.
What idea could be incorporated?
Electronic canes with sensors for the spatial location of people with
visual impairments.
Magnify
What can be magnified, enlarged, or extended?
The coverage and inclusion of new actors directly involved.
Additional features? What can add value?
Provision of different services for individuals, as well as ease of handling.
Change the meaning, the color, the movement, the sound, the smell, the shape, the measure?
After doing all the marketing and design work, it is easy to give different
characteristics and properties to the application, under the requirements and tastes of the
people.
Propose other uses
What else could it be used for?
Guide for foreigners.
Request for transportation services.
Application for people with other disabilities.
Other markets?
It is possible to provide greater coverage to reach different sectors and populations.
Eliminate or minimize
What would happen if I were smaller?
As the design stage develops, it becomes possible to visualize how ergonomic it should be.
be the device and its possible complementary parts.
Reorganize or reorder
Another sequence? Change the order?
A very complete and robust process should be provided, but with ease of use for
so that the target audience can make the most of it.
Each of the previous responses helps to innovate the product and/or service, presenting different
ideas to provide a solution to the central problem and anticipate possible questions that may arise in it
project development.
Unable to process the input.
