## About

# SCAMPER Creative Exploration

Apply all seven SCAMPER prompts to systematically explore creative possibilities for a product, service, process, or problem.

## Instructions

Work through each of the seven prompts, generating multiple ideas for each. Quantity matters—don't self-edit too early. Wild ideas often lead to practical innovations.
