The first stage is preparation-the process of investigating the problem or opportunity in many ways.Preparation involves developing a clear understanding of what you are trying to achieve through a novel solution and then actively studying information seemingly related to the topic.It is a process of developing knowledge and possibly skills about the issue or object of attention.The second stage, called incubation, is the period of reflective thought.We put the problem aside, but our mind is still working on it in the background.
