Where can I build synergy? What part can be changed or adjusted? What can I do to make it fit? What can I modify? What will happen if I modify certain processes, ideas or components? How can I use it differently? Are there new ways to use it? Who or what else might be able to use it? What could I do without? How else would I achieve the solution without the normal way of doing it? What if I did it the other way round? What if I reverse the order it is done or the way it is used? Can I change the parts, order or layout sequence?
