How you deal with the sheet of paper is a question of your personality. I am a self-confessed packrat ( I find the English word nicer somehow) and cannot throw anything away. That's why I sometimes take photos of the sheets of paper and save the photos in Evernote. Or I keep the sheet in the project folder for the customer. Sometimes you only recognize the little nuggets of pure gold ideas a few days or weeks later... But if you are more of a tidy-up, throw-away or minimalist, you can throw the sheets of paper estonia telegram screening away after they have done their duty for you.


SCAMPER is great if you want to change something that already exists. For example, you notice that others are starting to imitate your product and you want to change it to make it unique again. The same applies to a service, of course. With the SCAMPER method, you can approach this very systematically. It is best to do the SCAMPER exercise in writing or record your thoughts with your smartphone or a dictaphone. With the Dictadroid app, you can record your thoughts and then even have them transcribed inexpensively.

SCAMPER is an acronym and stands for the following words:

S – Substitute, C – Combine , A – Adapt , M – Modify , P – Put, E – Eliminate, R – Reverse
