Using the SCAMPER Model to enhance a walkie-talkie!
INTRODUCTION
What is creativity? Mistakenly, people think of being ‘creative’ as a unique point in time – a bright spark, where a novel idea is brought to our minds. It is a ‘Eureka’ moment, where inventiveness and innovative ideas come to us naturally. Or alternatively, people think of certain individuals as being ‘creative’ – and while artists, musicians, painters, sculptures and designers are all rightly considered to be creative; creativity is not something that can only be practiced by a select few. We all have creative potential in us, we just need to know how to unlock it.
Creativity and creative thinking are skills that can be practiced and refined. Crucially, creativity is not only applicable to innovative ideas, in order to be considered creative, you don’t need to be able to come up with a new idea. Creativity can be sparked by looking at existing products, services, ideas and approaches, and finding a new element, a new angle or a new market. Many of the businesses that are established by entrepreneurs today are not wholly new ideas. People who open shops, restaurants, hair and beauty salons, IT repair and support services, taxi companies, etc. are not establishing the first business of its kind, but they may all have a creative twist to add to their business product or service to help it to stand out in the market. Fostering this type of creativity, can lead to lasting business success.
To get started nurturing your own creativity, consider the scenario presented in the following task.
TASK
A local manufacturing company has come to your school. They manufacture walkie-talkies. The company was very successful in the 1990s and before then; basically, before people had smartphones! But ever since young people started getting smartphones instead of walkie-talkies for Christmas presents, the company has seen a severe drop-off in the demand for walkie-talkies, especially among young people. The company representatives have come to your school to hold a series of focus group sessions. Through these sessions, they want you and your peers to discuss how they would improve their current walkie-talkies and make them more attractive to young people.
Working in groups of 3-4, you will use the SCAMPER model to list how the walkie-talkies can be enhanced so that young people might buy them again.
Once you have completed the process and come up with your list of suggestions for improvements, you and your team will create a short presentation to list the improvements you would make. All teams will then present the changes to the manufacturing company executive, and they will choose the best suggestions for improving their walkie-talkies.
PROCESS
Step 1: What is the SCAMPER Model?
So, what is the SCAMPER Model and how can you use it to bring the humble walkie-talkie into the 21st century?
The SCAMPER model is a method that allows you to look at a problem from different angles, so that you can find a solution. When applied to a product – like the walkie talkie – SCAMPER can be used to identify ways that the product could be improved so that it is better suited to today’s consumer demands.
SCAMPER is an acronym, with each letter representing one thinking technique. In this model:
- S stands for Substitute
- C stands for Combine
- A stands for Adapt
- M stands for Modify
- P stands for Put to another use
- E stands for Eliminate
- R stands for Reverse
By following this model, it allows you to use these various thinking styles and techniques. Choose one or all of these 7 methods and apply it to the design and functioning of the walkie talkie and see what changes and improvements you and your team can come up with!
The following links may help you and your group to complete this first step in the process:

- Walkie-Talkies – How they work, and pros and cons: https://www.explainthatstuff.com/walkie-talkies.html
Step 2: Evaluating your ideas
Now that you have applied the SCAMPER model to the walkie-talkies, you probably have a lot of ideas of how you could improve the design! It is important to reduce these ideas down, so that you are only pitching 2-3 good quality ideas when you present to the executives of the manufacturing company!
One of the simplest and easiest methods to evaluate ideas, is a two-step evaluation process.
If you have a lot of ideas, you can first read through each of the ideas, and when each idea is mentioned, all group members can vote whether or not they would like to go forward with this idea. If you have over 10 ideas, this is a good first step to reduce the number down to a more manageable 5 ideas.
Now that you have 5 good ideas, but you only want to end up with 2-3, you can complete a short idea evaluation matrix, to select your best ideas. For this, draw a table, write your five ideas in the column on the left. At the top of each column, write one of the following items to consider:
- Appeal to customers
- Time for making improvements
- Cost of improvements
- Competition in the market
For each of your ideas for how to improve the Walkie-Talkie, write a score under each of these headings, from a score of 0-5. The ideas that have the highest rating are the ones you should present to the manufacturing company!

- Idea evaluation – How to identify the best ideas: https://innolytics-innovation.com/idea-evaluation/
Step 3: Presenting your improved Walkie-Talkies
Now that you have selected which ideas are most appropriate to help to improve the design, functionality – and all important sales – the Walkie-Talkie, the next steps for your focus group team is to present these changes to the executives of the manufacturing company. To facilitate your presentation to these executives, your team should work together to develop a PowerPoint Presentation or a set of Google Slides to present:
- Your overall impression of the original walkie-talkie design
- Your target audience
- The key changes you would make to improve the walkie-talkie
- Why you think these changes will make the walkie-talkie a consumer favourite again

CONCLUSION
Creativity exists in all of us, although it might develop differently in everyone. From when we were children, we have been told that some people are just ‘born creative’ and the rest of us are doomed to spend our lives without experiencing creativity – we now know that this is not true. Creativity is a skill that can be practiced; it is a mindset that we can create and nurture; it is a resource in all of us that we can tap into when we need it.
Creativity does not mean originality, imagination or innovation; it is simply the ability to see something in anything and everything.
“Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while” – Steve Jobs
Innovative Student Business Idea of the Year Award
INTRODUCTION
What does it mean to be creative? Is it being musical or being good at creative writing? Is it being able to paint, sketch, mould or cast a new artistic creation? Is it being able to solve problems in a novel or inventive way? Is it being able to see potential in something which others cannot? The answer is that there are many different ways to express creativity, and it is something that can always be practiced and improved upon.
If you have ever looked at your friends or family and wonder why other people are more “creative” than you are, or why they were born with a “creative gift” and you weren’t, don’t despair – it is not that they are creative and you are not. It is maybe that they have just practiced their creativity more than you have? The more you practice, the more creative you will feel. In this following task, you will have the opportunity to practice a range of different types of creativity – from creative thinking, to creative writing, to graphic design to digital media production, you will be able to put your creative skills to the test and evaluate which form of creativity you enjoy the most!
TASK
Your school is running a competition – Innovative Student Business Idea of the Year – and you are interested in taking part. In order to take part in this competition, you will first need to spot an opportunity for an innovative business idea that will work in your school. For this, you will need to conduct market research with your classmates and peers, to identify and then develop your business idea.
To promote your new business venture, you will then need to create an engaging marketing strategy with various multi-media advertisements to make sure that your business idea gains enough support among your classmates so that your business idea will be nominated for the award.
The competition will be tough in your school, but you are confident that your creativity will win out. What are you waiting for? Follow the steps outlined below to get started!
PROCESS
Step 1: Idea Generation Techniques
The first step for you to complete in your journey to winning the Idea of the Year award is to come up with an idea for a business that you think would be a success in your school. Think about your school, you will spend on average 13.5% of all the waking hours of your life in school by the time you turn 18. So you spend a lot of your life there! What could improve the school experience for your peers? What could you introduce to tackle social problems in your school, like bullying, mental ill-health, body dysmorphia, etc? What could you do to make your school more environmentally friendly? Surveying the world around you and spotting opportunities for new business ideas is central to the world of an entrepreneur. During idea generation, the quality of the idea is not as important as the quantity! In true idea generation, you should end up with multiple ideas – at this stage there is no such thing as a bad idea, so whatever ideas come to you, jot them down, you can always evaluate and remove unfeasible ideas in the next steps.

- The Elements of Creativity in Idea Generation: https://www.ideastogo.com/articles-on-innovation/the-elements-of-creativity-in-idea-generation
Step 2: Idea Evaluation
Well done, you have completed the first step and generated a list of ideas for businesses you can start in your school. What’s the next step? Narrowing down your ideas so that you only have 1-2 ideas going forward to the next step.
There are many different ways to evaluate the quality of your ideas. For this task, you might consider using an idea evaluation matrix. This is a simple table that you can complete to screen the quality, relevance and creativity of your ideas.
To help you get started, you might find these links helpful:

- Score your Idea: https://www.slideshare.net/nealcabage/startupopportunityevaluation/70-EVALUATION_MATRIXScore_Your_Ideas_Customer
Step 3: Vox Pop for Market Research
Great work, you have completed a simple idea evaluation matrix and now you are left with 1-2 ideas that you would like to develop further. The next step in the process is to undertake some simple market research. How will you know if your business idea will work in the real-world? What if you find it interesting or innovative, but nobody else does? This is where market research comes in! Market research is simply conducting research to find out the needs and preferences of your intended target audience – in this case, your school peers! To conduct market research in this task, we recommend that you conduct a short vox pop with your classmates and other students in your school. Think about the feedback you want to learn about your idea, and write 2-3 questions that you will use as the basis for your vox pop. Also consider asking your audience about their marketing preferences – this will come in useful later in your task!

- Using Video to Embed Market Research: https://www.voxpops.com/more-impact-is-needed/
Step 4: Develop a Marketing Strategy
The next step is for you to take what you have learned through the vox pop and apply it to make a simple marketing strategy for your business idea. Central to your marketing strategy will be knowing what your business’s “value proposition” and “unique selling proposition” will be. To find out more about what these terms mean, you will find some useful links below, or you are free to conduct your own online research.
Once you have developed these statements for your business idea, create a simple marketing strategy for your idea – this will be key for your success in the Business Idea awards. There is a template for a simple one-page marketing plan included below – take some time to complete this marketing strategy template for your business idea. Having a defined marketing strategy in place will support you to complete the next steps in the process with greater clarity!

Step 5: Create a Promotional Video
Now that you have defined your marketing strategy, and now that you have developed your business idea by writing your value proposition and your unique selling proposition, the next step is to create a series of promotional materials that will bring your business idea to life and will garner support for your idea ahead of the awards. Research shows that digital marketing is more effective when companies advertise through promotional videos. Therefore, your next step is to capitalise on this research and to shoot your own promotional video for your new business idea. Take some time to shoot a video that really expresses the innovation in your business idea, as this is the goal of the award after all! If you have received written permission, you can also include some of the clips that you gathered from the vox pop in your promotional video.

Step 6: Develop Promotional Flyers and Posters
Great job! Now you have really powerful promotional tool to help to gather support for your business idea from your classmates and other students in your year. Videos work really well in digital marketing, but as you are trying to gain support for your business idea in your school, it won’t always be possible to show your video. Other ways that businesses promote their business is through special promotions, sharing flyers, giving out vouchers and other freebies, like promotional pens, t-shirts, bags, re-usable water bottles, etc. Seeing as you have a limited – or rather non-existent – budget, the best option for you to promote your business in school is to create some flyers and posters that you can display on noticeboards around your school. Canva is an online platform where you can let your creativity run free and create flyers and posters for your business idea. For some advice and tips on how to create an attractive flyer on Canva, feel free to access some of the links that are included below – or alternatively, just log on to www.canva.com, create an account and get creative! Canva is very intuitive to use, and there are a lot of templates already available, so I am sure you will have a nice design in no time!

Step 7: Create a Following Online
Now you are equipped with all the promotional videos you need to launch your business idea, and just in time for the competition in your school! The more of a following your business idea has online, the better to support your nomination for the Business Idea of
the Year Award! Now that you have your promotional materials, it is time that you create a following for your business idea online. Some of the best marketing strategies for launching a new business today is to share your back-story and be authentic! Your audience will value your authenticity and will be sure to support your business. Take some time, before you launch your idea online, to write this back-story and to share the origins of your idea with your audience.

To prepare your pitch, focus on the following aspects of your business idea:
- What is innovative about your business idea?
- What need or gap in the market does it respond to?
- What has been the feedback from your target audience about your idea?
- How have you promoted your idea?
- What has the response been to your idea online?
- Why should you win the Innovative Student Business Idea of the Year Award?
Keep your pitch short, it should only be 3-4 minutes in length, but it should cover all of these points succinctly. Try writing your business pitch out first, and remember to practice, practice, practice!
