Ideation

Shape burrowing is a technique that uses random shapes to improve on a product. Improve can mean anything from making your product look nicer to making the product work better. It is a technique which will enable you to make new product based on similar products. It is good way for innovating new products.

SCAMPER is a useful technique  as it uses a set of questions to allow us to imagine and produce new and useful product. It also allows you to make a product better. An example of a question is : "How else would I achieve the solution without the normal way of doing it?" This is a difficult question to answer and I think the questions in SCAMPER would be able to cultivate our thinking and allow us to be more imaginative.  SCAMPER also allows us to be a good entrepreneur.
