4 stages
1. Preparation
2. Incubation
3. Illumination
4. Verification
Wallas Model
16. we define the problem, need, or desire, and gather any information the solution or response needs to account for,
and set up criteria for verifying the solution's acceptability
Preparation Phase
17. • A writer, for example, prepares by writing, by reading, or by revising earlier work
• An entrepreneur researches problems to solve
• A programmer plays with code
• A painter messes with paints or visits an art gallery
Example’s for Preparation
a situation that is confused and full of problems
18. we step back from the problem and let our minds contemplate and work it through. Like preparation, incubation can
last minutes, weeks, even years
Incubation Phase
look thoughtfully for a long time or think
deeply and at length
19. The final stage, one carries out activities to demonstrate whether or not what emerged in illumination satisfies the
need and the criteria defined in the preparation stage
Verification Phase
