Getting help with your innovation efforts doesn’t require a $100,000 budget
Innovation coaching is often a better solution than bringing in an expensive innovation consulting firm for an extended engagement. My offerings allow you to get innovation help whenever, wherever you might need it.
Braden Kelley can serve as your trusted innovation coach to help you get started, act as a source of external perspective to help evolve your innovation efforts, or help you unlock new sources of revenue and drive down costs. I’ve created snack-sized innovation coaching offerings that fit in even the smallest budget, and help you get the innovation advice you really need without all of the overhead that you might not.
Braden Kelley delivers workshops, keynotes and innovation coaching services that focus on five main topics:
- Getting Started with Innovation
- Creating a Culture of Continuous Innovation
- Inbound Marketing Strategy
- Innovation Marketing
- Innovation Investment Evaluation
In recognition of the changing economic realities and the increasingly global market for our services, we are pleased to offer the above affordable innovation coaching services by Skype video conference as well as traditional on-site innovation coaching. Now you can rent Braden’s brain for even the smallest need or budget.
Braden Kelley has been advising companies since 1996 in industries ranging from medical equipment, software, and internet advertising to real estate, retail, defense, and more.
Braden’s book “Stoking Your Innovation Bonfire” from John Wiley & Sons is being very well received.
