The SCAMPER Idea Improvement Trigger Generator
One of the most popular techniques for improving a new idea is called SCAMPER. Its name is a mnemonic for Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify/Magnify/Minify, Put to other uses, Eliminate and Reverse/Rearrange.
Nearly 250 SCAMPER prompts are now available at random in this tool. Click the green button to generate a random trigger. Then think about it in the context of your ideas. What ideas does this random association suggest? No ideas? Then click the button to draw another card. You can also use the spacebar to draw a new trigger so you can keep your hands free for jotting down ideas and insights!
Have an idea you want to push further? Draw your first trigger, then hold your idea up against it and see what shakes loose. Keep drawing until one catches.
