The SCAMPER technique is one of the brainstorming tools that allows us to explore solutions to problems by altering the current product through seven different approaches: Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put in Another Use, Eliminate, and Rearrange. In this article, we will examine examples of the SCAMPER technique and how it is applied in the real world by different companies.


Ah, I am sorry to hear so. Yes, many of the courses out there are scum, but not he design thinking itself.


Thanks, I will fix this one. And yes, I am an old guy who doesn’t use AI in writing my articles. I tried once, and I felt like I was a slave to the machine ;) So, I am proud of my human mistakes in the age of AI perfection.


Very good add, thanks!


These are good points. Although I discussed the TRIZ in couple of my articles. I need to revisit my thoughts as it is over-egineered Russian tool that eliminate all the benefits of subjective constructivism design mindset. It is simply say, everything can be solved using one fo those 40 ways.


it is normal to see people advocate their favourite tool or process. However, I always tell my design students to be critical and strategic when choosing their tools.


Me too don't understand the analogy between design thinking and data science. Both are too different. But even if I am a designer and teach design, I don't think there superiority here. it is how to benefit from each approach to achieve in intended goal.


I worked as a designer (digital products) for 15 years before moving to the academia. I used the same mindset to design medical technology devices. While the fields seems to be differnet, the design activities are the same regadlress the outcome artefact. Of course, the expetise inputs varies.


To achieve innovation through design. it needs an organisational mindset and this shift comes with understanding that design culture is applied in strategic, tectical, and operational levels. Check my article What is this Thing Called Design Management? (https://www.designorate.com/what-is-this-thing-called-design...). This application ensures building design driven organisation.


Yes, this is a very good point indeed.
