IDEATION EXERCISE:

SCAMPER_ PARALLEL WORLDS

WHAT ARE YOUR OBJECTIVE’S BUILDING BLOCKS?

• Identifying your I.O.’s building blocks is about zooming in, taking a worm’s
eye, on-the-ground, detailed deep-dive into your I.O.

• To help you identify the building blocks, ask yourself: “What are the key
components (stakeholders, touchpoints, interventions, intangibles, policies)
that affect our I.O.?

• Make sure to identify both tangible and intangible building blocks:

• Tangible: People, Structures, Places
• Intangibles: Digital media, Policies, Rules
 INNOVATION OBJECTIVE:

In what ways might we can develop a multi-purpose powerbank

that will satisfy the needs of older people.
