Alternative Solutions Derive alternative solutions for a problem In order to solve the problem group has to propose a list of possible solutions. More innovative solution – better product. The nature of Invention “Me an inventor ??!” ⇒ “Why not?” Are you afraid of that?? Building the List of possible solutions: a) Chekoff list » – – – – 5 or b)Brainstorming Checkoff list – designed to direct thinking It suggests possible ways how to change and use existing solution Make a list of the features for the first solution: shape, size, material, manufacturing method, colour, arrangement, Try to conceive how the current solution changes if you change features according to the words in your list. Ask yourself: Why is the solution like it is? Will change be better or worse? What was the reason for the original solution to be made that way? Use check list words: “MODIFY” and “REARANGE” to guide
