The Stages of Innovation
In the world of software architecture, people talk about the three phases of architecture. The phases for software projects are the same ones that innovators leverage and use.
Simply put that is the conceptual stage of architecture. In this phase of the concept, innovation sees the problem that could be solved and begins to consider ways to solve the problem.
Activities of the Conceptual Phase:
• Recognizing a problem
• Watching people struggle with the problem
• Considering options to solve that problem
• Brainstorming with likeminded professionals
• Discussion with a mentor or trusted advisor Once the innovator moves past that conceptual or idea phase, they begin considering the innovation not only in the conceptual space previously considered but not in a more logical space. In a logical space, the innovator begins to think about the components of the innovation.
Activities of the Logical Phase
• What is it going to be made of in terms of materials?
• What components need to be built?
• How will they fit together etcetera?
The innovation may at this time build out models of what the solution may look like. They will begin considering the system design and the system view of what they wish to build at this time.

There is innovation in using the image of a cute kid for this post. The kid has a message. Be as happy as the kid if you want to be a good innovator.
Thank you, the face meant he was up to something.
I just love the picture and step 2 watching people struggle with the problem 😀
that is what makes innovators great, they want to fix what people struggle with!!!
You are one of the mains sources where I get information about technology and innovations; it’s definitely informative!
You are my all time favorite desert creator (do you still publish your other blog, I cannot find it)
Aw, thank you so much! The blog is still there, but I haven’t posted much lately.
well if you do, let me know – there are a lot of us old Niumer’s still around!
I keep thinking that it just might be some kind of amazing innovation that can save this world of ours. Do keep the articles coming.
I know, there are companies devoted to pushing the edges of what we can do. Hope remains, 🙂
now more than ever, we need innovation
This, sadly, is the truest statement ever.
what pisses me off is that technology is most likely advanced enough to fix all of our problems, if we’d only focus on applying it properly
or we could keep doing what we’re doing and just use technology to make things worse even faster…
I suspect (rant on) there is much that could be changed. Hell, there is much that should be changed (rant off).
I won’t go further into the changes.
half the time I feel like I should be furious and out for blood. the rest of the time I am just depressed
You need to continue this innovation series, Doc. I think this is important and very useful.
