Srategic Competency Development Based on Scamper Technology

Abstract

In today’s dynamic environment, organizations and individuals must continuously enhance their strategic competence to remain competitive. Strategic competence involves integrating resources, knowledge, and skills to create long-term  advantages. The demand for innovative methods to foster strategic thinking has highlighted the value of creative techniques in education, business, and management. Among these, the SCAMPER methodology—based on substitution, combination, adaptation, modification, elimination, and reapplication—has proven especially relevant.  Despite its popularity in creative thinking, the SCAMPER technique’s role in strategic competency development has not been sufficiently contextualized in academic and practical applications. This study aims to explore how SCAMPER contributes to building strategic competence by enhancing adaptability, innovative thinking, and efficient resource use across educational and organizational domains. The research demonstrates that SCAMPER facilitates systematic problem-solving, encourages multi-perspective analysis, and supports the generation of novel strategies. Practical applications in biology-based scenarios illustrate how SCAMPER can guide learners and professionals to rethink existing processes. The method aids in simplifying complexity, aligning decisions with goals, and responding effectively to environmental changes. By integrating SCAMPER into strategic planning frameworks, this study bridges a methodological gap between creativity and strategy, offering a structured yet flexible approach for innovation and long-term performance. The findings suggest that SCAMPER is a valuable tool for enhancing both individual learning and institutional development. Its incorporation into strategic processes can foster sustainability, adaptability, and competitive success in education and business contexts.
