  • The scavenger mindset strategy needs a large inventory to curate over.
    • The scavenger mindset is not "create new things," it's "take existing things that I can take for granted and combine them into novel combinations."[cj]
    • The thing in your set are:
      • Existing products in your portfolio
      • Pre-existing prototypes
      • Existence proofs of viable products from competitors
      • Team strengths
    • The larger the inventory, the more likely there's a chocolate-and-peanut-butter game changing combination to discover.
