This document summarizes the key ideas generated from applying the SCAMPER technique to the word "time" including: rearranging "time flies" to "flying time"; the idea that some people magnify their successes and get scared; combining the ideas of a "time wheel" and recycling wasted time; and concluding that wasted time cannot be recycled but one can learn to avoid wasting time in the future. The presentation was adapted based on feedback and additional ideas contributed by others.

1. Ali Anani

2. Ah_Livia and Juao Maya
You know why I
dedicate this
presentation to you

3. I describe the chaotic flow of
ideas as they appeared
without structuring them

4. I decided to use SCAMPER to generate new ideas
Substitute
Combine
Adapt
Magnify
Put to other use
Eliminate
Reverse or
Rearrange

5. Randomly, I chose the word time
Rearrange was the first thing that came to my mind

6. Rearrange times flies to flying time
Time flies
Flying time

7. Time flies reminded me
of a fly with two clocks
attached to its wing
Is that a good metaphor?

8. A fly gets scared from its magnified image and runs
away. Restaurants use transparent plastic bags filled
with water so that a fly gets scary of its own image
M for Magnification

9. That inspired me with the idea that some
people magnify their successes and they
get scared from their image

10. A for Adapt
I need to adapt this
presentation to meet the
readers’ satisfaction

11. Something reminds you of something else.

12. http://www.communicationsintheworkplace.com/Skills.htm
This takes two
essential sets of
communications
skills. First, you
need the power
to adapt your
message so that the
other person hears
you and second, you
need the power
to persuade them
to do what needs to
be done.

13. I am practicing
adaptation while in the
process of writing this
slide show

14. Magnified Time
Time's chart is magnified – A
Design So Vast

6 Apr 2012 – Life seems to flood
by, taking our loves quickly in its
flow. In the growth of children, in
the aging of beloved
parents, time's chart
is magnified,

15. C for Combine
The idea of
Time Wheel
came to my
mind
abruptly
Time must be balanced or
else soon it shall deflate

16. S for Substitute
Ti
me
r
Ti e
Ops!!! Back to tires

17. Time is running to
finish this
presentation

18. P for Put to other use
Time waste
Recycling of
time waste
Solid waste
Recycling

19. We can recycle waste; but
are unable to recycle
wasted time
(Time waste in emulation
of solid waste)

20. Trim the time waste
Wasted time
is gone. It can
not be
recycled.
The only
option is to
learn and
adapt so as
not to lose
time

21. I only hope that I have
not wasted your time
reading this
presentation

22. New Ideas

23. Words and the
Butterfly Effect

24. Live
Reverses to
Evil
Do me move
from evil to live
by reversing
direction?

25. You are welcome to add to this slide
deck. Just e-mail your slide to me.

26. The presentation and
discussions inspired Juao
Maya with the following
contributed slide

27. WASTED TIME IS GONE.
BUT WE CAN CHANGE DIRECTION.

28. George Sciberras
(@xiby)
contributed the
following mindchallenging slide

30. Lori kane added a
timely slide about time.
It is time to brainstorm
together

31. Quotes and images by Dr. Seuss

32. Lori’s slide inspired
me with the next
two slides (33-34)

33. Time runs with
fast heels
sometimes

34. Kids with grey hair have
matured prematurely
These kids got so old so soon

35. An e-mail from a dear friend ,
who wishes to keep his name
unknown, spurred the idea of
the following slides

36. From the fetus of chaos comes
order and symmetry

37. It is the whole in the unit, and
the unit in the whole

38. For companies to succeed, for life to thrive
and for chaos to generate repeated and
pleasing pattern
The ALL must act as ONE and the
one as the whole

39. Proudly, I add the next four slides, which
are the contribution of :
Isabella Wesoly, BA (Hons), Dip.Iris
The slides are reflective of her generosity,
emotional creativity and sense of genuine
emotions.
'Fly to Mother Love', by Isabella Wesoly, is
an adaptation of a photograph by Iwo
Zaluski

40. The fly needed
proper
nurturing,
rather than
buzz about the
'crap' of life

41. Overseeing, to adapt with changes

42. A chain of
continuity, locks into
story-lines

43. Sliding
beneath
the
salebrous
rope
