Framework for Creative Problem-Solving Stages PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 22-slide Decision Making Models: Thinking, Seeing, Doing PowerPoint presentation, presents the "Seeing First Model," a framework designed to facilitate creative problem-solving. It outlines 4 distinct stages that experts have identified as essential in the creative discovery process: Preparation, Incubation, Illumination, and Verification.

Preparation involves gathering deep knowledge about the problem at hand. This foundational step is critical, as it sets the stage for the subsequent phases. The Incubation stage allows the unconscious mind to process the information gathered, often leading to insights that surface after a period of reflection. This period is characterized by a lack of active engagement with the problem, which can sometimes yield unexpected breakthroughs.

The Illumination phase is described as the "Ah-ha moment," where a solution becomes clear, often after a period of rest or sleep. This stage highlights the importance of allowing the mind to operate freely, as rational thinking may inhibit creative thought. Finally, Verification involves organizing and articulating the solution logically, ensuring it can be communicated effectively and validated.

The slide also emphasizes ideal circumstances for applying the Seeing First Model. It suggests that the model is most effective when numerous elements are pooled together to create a solution, when there is a steadfast commitment to the solution, and when communication transcends boundaries. These factors are crucial for fostering an environment conducive to creativity and innovation.

Overall, this slide serves as a concise overview of a structured approach to creative problem-solving, providing valuable insights for leaders looking to enhance their decision-making processes.
