Warm-Up Exercises Why do them?
72
Warm-Up Exercises To open up a group or team's
creative thinking Warm-Up Exercises are very
helpful. The exercises help to loosen up
paradigms, mindsets, and points of view that
people bring to a creative thinking session.
Some goals of Warm-Up Exercises are to
encourage people to a. look beyond the
obvious or known answers (correct
answers) b. stretch thinking c. breakout
of/break from establish thinking d. look for
multiple possibilities e. take on many
different points of perspective f. practice
producing a variety of potential solutions g.
to take a few risks and play with ideas
possible solutions h. get discussion going
I. raise interest level

CHECKLIST S.C.A.M.P.E.R. S.C.A.M.P.E.R. is a
form of CHECKLIST. A CHECKLLIST is a prepared
list of words, verbs, questions that you can use
that can spark new ideas, change your thinking or
your point of view or even you mood and the
direction your thinking at the moment and take
you into many directions. S.C.A.M.P.E.R. was
created by Bob Eberle, teacher/educational
consultant in the 1970 s to teach the concept of
CHECKLISTING to school children by using a memory
device (acronym) that they could easily remember
when they needed to generate new ideas or
remember existing or past ideas. It is used as
the foundation for Michael Michalkos excellent
Creative Thinking Tools bookTHINKERTOYS. First
Step Write out the word S.C.A.M.P.E.R. vertically
on a piece of paper or on a flip chart/chalkboard
or other surface that the group can see. Second
Step Write out what the 7 letters stand
for. Third Step Then use each of the 7 by asking
questions using these verbs to improve/change/revi
se your challenge or problem to generate
potential ideas and solutions. Fourth Step Read
over the ideas you have produced and select the
best To work on to turn them into HOT SOLUTIONS
to use.
S. substitute C. combine A. adapt,
adopt M. minify, magnify P. put to other
uses E. eliminate R. reverse
Combine - what might we combine with our problem
to improve it? Chair - new materials, sound,
tastes, textures, arm rest, cushion Eliminate -
what might we eliminate to improve the current
chair produce a brand new one? Hinges, one of the
legs, the back

Forced Relationships


Divergent Thinking Tool
103
Sample
A traditional example or warm-up for doing this
consists of 1st. Ask the person or group to
write everything they know about a canary (or a
bird in their country. 2nd. Ask the person or
group to write everything they know about the
chair they are sitting in. 3rd. Then I ask them
to combine (FORCE FIT or make a FORCED
Relationship) one item from the canary list with
The chairs list with the goal to improve,
change, correct the chair design or to generate
ideas for designing the ultimate chair.
Forced Relationships This is an idea generating
technique that appears in many books about
creative thinking and creative thinking or
innovation tools. First Step choose something
totally unrelated to the problem or challenge You
or your group are working on. Second Step List
everything you or your group know about it. (Who?
What? When? Where? Why? How? physical, visual,
tactile,all senses, good and bad) Third
Step List everything you or your group know about
your problem or challenge. (WWWWWHand using all
the senses) Fourth Step Take items/details/aspect
s from the first list and FORCE FIT them to
features Or details from the second list. Your
goal is to see if the features from The randomly
chosen, unrelated thing/animal sparks ideas for
improving, Changing, correcting features of the
problem.

first generate 12 to 24 ideas through
Brainstorming or any other technique. Second
Step Then draw a grid made up of as many vertical
and horizontal Cells as you have ideas. Third
Step Combine the ideas on the vertical side of
the grid With the ideas on the horizontal side
one by one and write them into the separate boxes
where the two ideas meet.. 6 ideas can Then
produce 36 ideas, 12 can produce 24, 100 -

produced and select the best To work on to turn
them into HOT SOLUTIONS to use.

Idea or Morphological Grids This is a
logical/left-brain convergent tool that can be
used to generate large numbers of ideas. 6
columns of 10 examples of each variable can
produce 1,000,000 possible combinations. First
Step Generate list of variables of problem or
story Second Step Generate lists for each of the
variables i.e. heroes cowboy, Rancher,
sheriff, shopkeeper, teacher, minister. Third
Step Number each list for each variable 1 to 2 to
3 to ... Fourth Step Randomly pick one number
for each variable column from 1 to ? Fifth
Step Then write a story using one from each of
the columns

convergent tool that can be used to select ideas
to turn into solutions First Step Generate
ideas Second Step Select a workable number of
ideas you or the group like Third Step Generate
a list of values that final solution can be
evaluated with. Fourth Step Examine each idea
one by one for each value. Or Examine each value
one by one comparing the chairs. Fifth Step If
one idea ends up better from the analysis than
one that you or the group have a strong feeling
for then go back and re-evaluate the weak areas
and strengthen or change them.

• PCP-Pluses/Concerns/Potentials
• Pluses/Concerns/Potentials a convergent thinking
  tool used for analyzing a list or group of ideas
  that have been generated by an individual or a
  group.
• First Step
• Narrow down the number of ideas to a comfortable
• number (3 to 6)
• Second Step
• Then one by one write out 3 lists of thoughts
  about each idea.
• Pluses of the ideas
• Concerns
• Potentials
• Third Step
• Then compare the results.
• Fourth Step
• If one idea falls behind the others yet the group
  seems more excited about it or committed to it,
  then go over each of the concerns and think of
  ways to eliminate or strength them with that
  idea.

Sample
Idea 1 Make the chair out of XXX plastic and
apply electrical lighting to it. Pluses -
Plastic will be cheaper Lighting will make it
more useable The plastic will provide more color
options Concerns - We have no experience with
plastic Electrical wiring will add cost It may be
too easily tipped over Potentials - Could lead
to a product that could be sold anywhere in the
world. Could expand our technical
capacities Could open up new markets for our
other products.

Sample
Hits Misses Hits Misses is a convergent
thinking tool used for quickly choosing ideas
from several that have been generated. First
Step Generate many ideas.24, 48, 144..on
Post-It notes or slips of paper or index cards or
simply write them on a surface where everyone can
see them easily. Second Step Tell the group to
go up and scan the total group of ideas and mark
which ones their gut tells them is a hit. No
discussion. Just simply read and react. Or Tell
the group to go up and move the ideas they think
are HITS to an area labeled HITS and the MISSES
to another area labeled thus. Leave the NOT
SURE ones where they are. Third Step Then
discuss, organize by popularity, group, cluster
the ideas by categories. Fourth Step Select the
one or more that can be used at the same time or
the ones that can be combined into a single idea
