SCAMPER

I want to come up with some simple and achievable new ideas 

to make quick progress on an innovation opportunity we’ve already recognised

What is it

SCAMPER refers to a series of thought starters or provocations which help you to innovate on an existing product, service or situation by looking through different lenses. 

When to use it

Prerequisite - your start point for this has to be a specific innovation opportunity i.e. a type of product you want to create for example a Individual Giving subscription product, or a legacy acquisition product. If you’re looking for inspiration, this is a simple and effective way to figure out what’s on the market already, what problems are being solved for your target audience, who’s doing it well and how.
