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!

    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).

Sample Testing: Get samples from 2 to 3 suppliers, check or test them, and ship the selected ones to me for review and approval; 3. Production Monitor: I will closely monitor the production process during production and share the production pictures/ videos with the clients. 4. Quality Control: I can help arrange the inspection before shipping once the production is done. 5. Logistics: Once the shipment inspection is approved, I can contact multiple forwarders to get the best quote for the clients and ensure their interest. I will follow up and forward shipment tracking information until the products are received in good condition and complete. 6. All process Follow-up From the start until the clients receive the order 7. My method for managing supplier communications--shared chat group after I accept the Upwork contract After I find some qualified suppliers, I can set up chat groups that loop you and the suppliers. I will talk about the customized requests, MOQ, and prices with the suppliers in the chat group so you can stay informed and involved as needed. You can be dormant and keep an eye on my communication with the supplier. You can ask the suppliers any questions in the chat group if you want. This setup will be ideal for a smooth flow of information.

    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.

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.
