S.C.A.M.P.E.R. CHECKLISTING S.C.A.M.P.E.R
. is a form of CHECKLIST. A CHECKLLIST is a
prepared list of words, verbs, questions that you
can use that can spark new ideas, change your
thinking or your point of view or even you mood
and the direction your thinking at the moment and
take you into many directions. S.C.A.M.P.E.R.
was created by Bob Eberle, teacher/educational
consultant in the 1970 s to teach the concept of
CHECKLISTING to school children by using a memory
device (acronym) that they could easily remember
when they needed to generate new ideas or
remember existing or past ideas. It is used as
the foundation for Michael Michalkos excellent
Creative Thinking Tools bookTHINKERTOYS. First
Step Write out the word S.C.A.M.P.E.R. vertically
on a piece of paper or on a flip chart/chalkboard
or other surface that the group can see. Second
Step Write out what the 7 letters stand
for. Third Step Then use each of the 7 by asking
questions using these verbs to improve/change/revi
se your challenge or problem to generate
potential ideas and solutions. Fourth Step Read
over the ideas you have produced and select the
best To work on to turn them into HOT SOLUTIONS
to use.

Forced Relationships This is an idea generating
technique that appears in many books about
creative thinking and creative thinking or
innovation tools. First Step choose something
totally unrelated to the problem or challenge You
or your group are working on. Second Step List
everything you or your group know about it. (Who?
What? When? Where? Why? How? physical, visual,
tactile,all senses, good and bad) Third
Step List everything you or your group know about
your problem or challenge. (WWWWWHand using all
the senses) Fourth Step Take items/details/aspect
s from the first list and FORCE FIT them to
features Or details from the second list. Your
goal is to see if the features from The randomly
chosen, unrelated thing/animal sparks ideas for
improving, Changing, correcting features of the
problem.
Sample
A traditional example or warm-up for doing this
consists of 1st. Ask the person or group to
write everything they know about a canary (or a
bird in their country. 2nd. Ask the person or
group to write everything they know about the
chair they are sitting in. 3rd. Then I ask them
to combine (FORCE FIT or make a FORCED
Relationship) one item from the canary list with
The chairs list with the goal to improve,
change, correct the chair design or to generate
ideas for designing the ultimate chair.

Value Grids This is a logical/left-brain
convergent tool that can be used to select ideas
to turn into solutions First Step Generate
ideas Second Step Select a workable number of
ideas you or the group like Third Step Generate
a list of values that final solution can be
evaluated with. Fourth Step Examine each idea
one by one for each value. Or Examine each value
one by one comparing the chairs. Fifth Step If
one idea ends up better from the analysis than
one that you or the group have a strong feeling
for then go back and re-evaluate the weak areas
and strengthen or change them.

• PCP-Pluses/Concerns/Potentials
• Pluses/Concerns/Potentials a convergent thinking
  tool used for analyzing a list or group of ideas
  that have been generated by an individual or a
  group.
• First Step
• Narrow down the number of ideas to a comfortable
• number (3 to 6)
• Second Step
• Then one by one write out 3 lists of thoughts
  about each idea.
• Pluses of the ideas
• Concerns
• Potentials
• Third Step
• Then compare the results.
• Fourth Step
• If one idea falls behind the others yet the group
  seems more excited about it or committed to it,
  then go over each of the concerns and think of
  ways to eliminate or strength them with that
  idea.

Sample
Idea 1 Make the chair out of XXX plastic and
apply electrical lighting to it. Pluses -
Plastic will be cheaper Lighting will make it
more useable The plastic will provide more color
options Concerns - We have no experience with
plastic Electrical wiring will add cost It may be
too easily tipped over Potentials - Could lead
to a product that could be sold anywhere in the
world. Could expand our technical
capacities Could open up new markets for our
other products.
