    Are you an entrepreneur that wants to take it to the next level? 100% of my coaching clients have shared they are more clear, inspired and energized after working with me. Let me help you find your mojo! I am a Top Rated Plus Business Coach on Upwork with 100% satisfaction score, contact me today! ⚡︎I can help you if you are struggling with these challenges: ● "I have no idea on how to get started with my startup" ● "Life has been chaotic and I need to get clear on my direction " ● "I don't have the energy or motivation right now to grow my business" ● "I want to get to the next level and I am not sure how to get there" ● "I'm starting a new chapter in my life and I need someone to hold me accountable" ● "HELP! I'm overwhelmed and I don't know what to do next" I focus on working with entrepreneurs with startups or small businesses. The process: Who are you? You are the main factor in your success. Why should your business exist? A purpose. How do you do things? Something that makes you unique. What do you offer? Your product or service. All success revolves around the answers to these four questions. All failure comes from a lack of understanding these questions. This is my method. It does not matter if you are a startup or an existing business, this is the core of your work and journey. A client had dozens of business ideas, I helped him launch just one. A client stopped chasing 3 different startups and now is an executive in a new business. One client grew from 5 to 50 employees in just two years. Let's get on a call today! We can set up an initial zoom call in a free 30 min consultation and I will explain how my process will get you the results you are wanting.

    I am a very senior professional with a diverse background that is probably unusual for this site. I am on Upwork because I am semi-retired and I enjoy helping people with their projects and giving general business support and advice. My experience includes being a university professor, a small tech business owner, a senior advisor in the U.S. government, and a business consultant focused on startup strategy, research fundraising, and Federal and state resources. You can learn more about my background from my LinkedIn profile, just search for James Kadtke Ph.D. Here are some of the skills I bring to the table: -- Superb research skills (including scientific) for a wide range of subject areas. I can research a topic, synthesize the material, and write concise summaries or more elaborate documents -- Excellent writing skills: I have over 80 peer-reviewed publications, and have contributed to countless other reports for the government, businesses, think tanks, and popular media. You can review some of my work at Researchgate under the profile James Kadtke or simply Google search my name. -- Extensive expertise in running and growing a business and finding funding and other resources; I often consult for startups on strategy -- Extensive experience in government and politics, and how to engage with agencies and leadership, so I can craft or review written materials for sensitivity and relevance -- Superb computer and social media skills -- I have been an independent consultant or contractor for nearly 30 years so I am quite comfortable performing on contracts and I strive hard to deliver the best products within time and cost requirements I think you will find that my hourly rate published here is well below most consultants with comparable skills. I am also always willing to negotiate costs to fit within a client's budget.

    Working as a journalist/ writer and translator for the past 10 years has given me plenty opportunities to learn about new things. My experience in proofreading also stems from this time. I do believe that a text only works, if its facts are true and its melody is pleasant. Texts are only as good as the information provided in them, so filling with fluff is not my field of expertise. But writing engaging and informative pieces is. I grew up and went to school and university in Germany, my command of the language is exceptional even amongst natives (as I also teach German).

    I am a 7-year tech company veteran and patent attorney with 5 years of expertise in patent prosecution, trademark registration, transactional document drafting, and other business and IP matters. I have also worked on a litany of business and IP litigation issues. The best patent applications are drafted when the patent attorney thoroughly collaborates with the inventor(s). Large patent firms are too focused on taking the information on a disclosure sheet and churning out a quick application. I will work with you to ensure that your patent application is of the highest quality and captures the area in your technical field that you wish to commercially protect. I am able to assist with freedom-to-operate opinions, patentability opinions, EPO, JPO, PCT, and WIPO advice and filings, trademark searches, trademark registration, and litigation counselling for IP matters. Let my expertise and breadth of experience service you and your business.

    Do you have an idea for a new cosmetic or personal care product that is natural, vegan, organic, green, or botanical, and do you need help formulating it so that it meets the highest quality requirements and has the best possible economic effectiveness? You've come to the perfect person to get your United States NOP, NATRUE, COSMOS, or ACO certification, among other certifications. I am a research and development cosmetic chemist and cosmetic product formulator who specialises in Natural/Vegan/Organic/Green products. I am a member of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists (SCC), the International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists (IFSCC), and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). 💫Qualification Cosmetic Science, Chemical Engineering, and Science Laboratory Technology are my academic specialties. 💫Formulation of Cosmetics If you have an idea, I am able to design a prototype for the product line in accordance with the specifications and goals that you have provided. The approach entails the creation of the formula as well as its optimization, the selection of the raw materials, process architecture, and the manufacturing method. I will develop natural, vegan, organic, and eco-friendly products for skincare, oral care, and hair care, in addition to a broad variety of essential cosmetic and personal care products. New product innovations rely on the most effective anti-aging and skin whitening ingredients now available on the market, many of which aren't widely used. As a researcher, I employ these rare compounds in my new product developments. To help clients with the patenting process, I've sent 15 of them to patent lawyers after we were successful in getting patents for some of our unique biotechnological formulations in the green, organic, natural, and vegan cosmetic and cosmeceutical markets. Since I have my own laboratory, I am able to successfully develop cosmetic products that are in compliance with all of the regulations set by the EU, the TGA, and the FDA. I have more than ten years of expertise in the development of new products, notably in the field of cosmetics, as well as in the formulation of new products and the procedures involved in chemical manufacture. My expertise in quality assurance and quality control extends to a broad variety of areas, including chemical analytics. 💫Product Development/Management In addition to being a formulator and a cosmetic chemist, I am also prepared to work as a thorough product manager and developer to put the concept of a cosmetic line into reality. My high-level duties as a product manager include taking care of the following, among other things: ✔ The picking and choosing of the products that will become part of the cosmetic brand. ✔ Getting in touch with manufacturing companies in order to have the products manufactured by them. ✔ Finding dropshipping companies to use for exporting the products. ✔ Execute the branding and packaging. The scope of my work spans through: ✔ Research and Development (R&D)/Formulation ✔ Regulatory Compliance ✔ Quality Assurance (QA)/Stability Testing ✔ Packaging ✔ Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) ✔ Contract Manufacturing ✔ Good Manufacturing Practices (ISO 22716) Everything I do revolves around your requirements and preferences. As for me, I'll keep at it until you're completely satisfied, too. Please feel free to make an offer if you think I can help you with your project.

How to Hire Top Innovation Strategists

INNOVATION STRATEGISTS

What is innovation strategy? 

Innovation strategy is the practice of developing a roadmap for innovating your products and services to increase market share and profits.

Here’s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in innovation strategy professionals:

  • Innovation strategy
  • Business development
  • Market research

Why do you want to hire innovation strategists?

The trick to finding top innovation strategists is to identify your needs. Is your goal to analyze competitors to identify key differentiators you can leverage to grow your own market share? Do you need help with market segmentation to identify underserved markets you can target with your next product release? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life.

HOW TO HIRE INNOVATION STRATEGISTS

Innovation strategists can audit your products and services along with those of competitors to identify unmet customer needs, feature requests, and other areas for improvement. Fulfilling unmet customer needs is a great way to expand your market share and increase profits.

So how do you hire innovation strategists? What follows are some tips for finding top innovation strategists on Upwork.

How to shortlist innovation strategy professionals

As you’re browsing available innovation strategy consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Product-market fit. You want an innovation strategist who understands your product-market fit so they can see into the adjacent possible and help your team innovate.
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., developing an innovation strategy for a consumer electronics manufacturer).
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular innovation strategist.

How to write an effective innovation strategy job post

With a clear picture of your ideal innovation strategist in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project.

An effective innovation strategy job post should include:

  • Scope of work: From auditing products and services to brainstorming new features, list all the deliverables you’ll need.
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project.
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, technologies, or marketing tools, mention this here.
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

FAQS FOR HIRING INNOVATION STRATEGISTS

How much does it cost to hire an innovation strategist?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced innovation strategist may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their innovation strategy services more competitively.

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.

How long should you contract an innovation strategist to complete your project?

As difficult as it is to estimate how long it takes to develop an innovation strategy, budgeting time is very important to keeping your project on track.

Be prepared to budget more time for more-demanding innovation strategy projects. For example, creating an innovation strategy for incremental improvements to a software-as-a-service (SaaS) product will take less time than working with R&D to create a market-disrupting technological advancement in a consumer electronics product.

What are the steps involved to hire innovation strategists?

Here’s how to hire innovation strategy consultants in four simple steps:

  1. Identify your project needs, whether it’s market segmentation or feature ideation.
  2. Define the scope of work and write a detailed job post. Be specific about deliverables (e.g., audit your supply chain logistics to identify areas for improvement).
  3. Review proposals and shortlist potential innovation strategists for unique skills needed to bring your project to life (e.g., UX design expertise to assist with feature ideation for iOS apps).
  4. Interview innovation strategy talent to gauge whether they’re the right fit for your project.
