Growing your organization in today's marketplace requires the ability -- and the discipline -- to create offerings quickly. The pace of innovation has never been faster. What's required is a continuous innovation culture with frequent and focused idea generation, active idea management, and customer research that uncovers insights.

Gregg Fraley helps organizations innovate.  He assists by assessing innovation needs and researching markets.  He then facilitates dynamic ideation sessions that result in on-target product and service concepts.  Gregg's innovation training helps create corporate cultures that foster, nurture, and sustain the innovative output of their people over time. Finally he recommends instituting Idea Management to preserve the most valuable of all corporate assets -- it's ideas.
 

Gregg blends his passion for creativity with his love for fiction in his innovative business fable, Jack's Notebook.  In it he introduces the method of Creative Problem Solving (CPS) to innovation teams in big organizations, small business people, entrepreneurs of all stripes, and individuals looking to master complex challenges and take their careers -- their lives -- to the next level.

In speaking keynotes and workshops he balances quirky humor with cutting edge content.  Audiences comment that he has a rare and unique  insight into the way people think, communicate, and innovate in the workplace. Gregg fosters understanding of creative style in ways that build bridges. He creates respect for creative thinking diversity and helps executives, managers, and teams overcome the blocks that prevent innovation.  His core message of more effective creative thinking -- through authenticity, passion, and deliberate creative process-- brings out the innovator inside of all of us.

His ideation training leads to better, more productive ideation sessions -- and that means more effective new product development.  His background as an entrepreneur and as an improvisational actor give him insights, tools, and capabilities few facilitators can offer. His Innovisation™ tools are industry leading and set an environment for ideation that combines a flexible structure for problem solving with ideal conditions for spontaneous thought. 

Simply put, Gregg brings out the best ideas people have. Contact him when you are planning an innovation initiative, an ideation session, or require innovation training.
