Risk Intelligence
Risks:
1. Knowable
2. Unknowable
Knowable therefore learnable
Unknowable so difficult to prepare for.
For the unknowable us a SCAMMPERR.
S substitute something
Switch materials, methods, people, machines, metrics. Change who, where, when, and what for every feature or resource. Try intangibles like assumptions, emotions and rules.
C combine with something (else)
Join, merge or group dissimilar objects or features. Use multiples or composite materials. Unite disjointed ideas or concepts. Meld with the problem or object itself.
A adapt something
Re-use ideas or methods already in use. Look for parallels in other fields, or in history, or even in nature. Copy experts or professionals. Review in different contexts.
M modify something
Change parameters, processes, use, features, limitations, direction, color, shape, names, rules. Place in new cultures and contexts. Try partial modification and change.
M magnify, amplify, or add something
Exaggerate. Increase in size or extent. Add features. Repeat duplicate or multiply. National, international, global. Multifunctional, universal. Broaden or widen scope.
P put to some other use
Change context of use - purpose, culture, function, market, interaction with other objects. idle resources.
E elimate something
Subtract or take away. Smaller, simpler, faster. Divide or separate into parts. Take out the problem or the unnecessary component. Reduce to the essence or essential.
R rearrange it
Look at other arrangements. Change order, interaction, relationship, layout, timings or sequence. Switch cause and effect. Look at the problem from a different viewpoint.
R reverse it
Look for opposites, reverse method, function, direction, targets, roles, or authorities, environment or context. Flip or reverse every feature and component and then test
