The InnovationCircle pivots around Five Stages. The Five Stages organize how potential builds and change happens. Be it an individual or a group the Five Stages guide how we nurture an idea and make it tangible in serving its purpose. The Five Stages are the central spine around which we organize the flow of information, energy and activity between each other as we interact with the environment.

The follow order of the 5 Stages begins with Stage 1: Awareness.(Listen further)

The five stages of the Innovation Circle show how society works in manifesting changes, implementing new ideas.
In relation to the InnovationCircle we specifically will make explicit how personality impacts the process of change and innovation.

The InnovationCircle stages are also the basis underneath the 5 stepping stones of the GmBS Capacity Development Framework.

Even more specifically the implementation of the GmBS Programme has been organized in the follow order of the 5 Stages of the InnovationCircle. In other words, each Stage brings awareness to what each step in the capacity development framework is aiming towards. It begins with the Awareness of the Facilitator, as the primary catalyst facilitating and prompting the possibility for real change.
