About Us

Thanks for visiting our website and for your interest in our company.

Innovation Frameworks LLC was formed in 2003 around a simple idea which became our tag line, because it is also our mission and purpose.

Our tag line is Helping you Win with Innovation™ .

We chose this after a great deal of thought, because our goal is to help others succeed in their endeavors by making better use of innovation, at all levels, in their own companies.

This top level goal permeates everything we do, from our research and development of new synergies to the way we deliver our workshops and consulting engagements. Our business structure is designed from the top to the bottom to create the best possible success for our clients when they decide to enhance their innovation potentials and practices. The bottom line is not the innovation per se, rather it is the business success that results from innovative practices.

To achieve this, we set up the company to partner with many other specialists because we believe in taking our own medicine. What I mean by this is that we know that the heart of innovation is the synergy of two or more independent views and bodies of knowledge to create something new. And to create that synergy and package it into workshops and useful consulting advice, we wanted to derive ideas from every possible credible source, and that meant partnering with experts in other fields.

That leads us to our Core Values:

Not everybody loves consultants. Consultants and consulting companies can form a key part of the fabric of a company’s supplier and partnership network. They can provide an independent, intelligent viewpoint, bring you cross industry experience and specialization in topics that working professionals just don’t have the time to pursue in detail. They can (and should) study the latest books to stay ahead of their clients and should always offer value which equals or exceeds their compensation (which seems high until you understand what it costs to run your own business and how much unpaid work time you have).

But we know that some consulting companies (and certainly many professional services in general) can overstate their claims, teach you things you don’t need, and tell you things you already know.

When I formed Innovation Frameworks, I decided that the most important characteristics that I wanted to develop in our company were these values:

• Sincerity and Authenticity
• Mutual Respect in all our relationships
• Synergy with both Clients and Partners
• Delivery of the highest possible value
• A focus, not on technology itself, but on our client’s business results

Of course we love our technology and tools – that makes innovation fun and interesting.

But our top values relate to the end products which include both satisfying results for our clients and the strength of the relationships we build with both our clients and our business partners.

We appreciate you visiting our site and hope to be able to work with you soon.
