This unit teaches structured creative-thinking methods (analogies, SCAMPER, inversion, Janusian, and creative destruction) and integrates how to partner with generative AI to expand, iterate, and document idea development. It builds on foundational ideation skills from Unit 1 and prepares students to select and prototype high-potential, ethically-informed business solutions in later units.
Learning Objectives
- Analyze different types of analogies and comparative thinking techniques to generate and map novel business opportunities and problem-reframing approaches
- Apply SCAMPER, inversion thinking, Janusian thinking, and creative-destruction mindsets to produce at least three distinct redesign concepts for a given product, service, or process
- Demonstrate effective collaboration with generative AI by creating iterative prompts, capturing AI-generated variants, and documenting rationale for selected refinements
- Evaluate and prioritize AI-augmented and human-generated ideas using defined business criteria (feasibility, desirability, viability) and ethical considerations to select concepts for prototyping
