Question

George is a manager at InnoBLAST Inc., a web-based applications company. In an attempt to promote new ideas, George decides to allow his engineering team to devote 15 percent of their work time to whatever projects they would like to work on and reduces their assigned workload. He then institutes a 30-minute period each morning where the team members are asked to look over their current project list for the day and develop more knowledge about a task before they move on to work on their assigned tasks.

The time period set aside each morning primarily helps promote _____ stages of the creative process.

A preparation and illumination
B incubation and verification
C illumination and verification
D verification and preparation
F preparation and incubation

Answer 1

The correct answer is letter "E": preparation and incubation.

Step-by-step explanation:

English professor Graham Wallas (1858-1932) proposed a model to explain the steps the human brain follows in the creative process. Those steps are preparation, incubation, illumination, and verification. In the preparation stage, individuals define a problem and its dimensions. In the next step, incubation, the problem is analyzed only internally for reflection.
