Are your teams solving the right problems - or just staying busy?
From struggling to stand out in the market to stalled transformation efforts and siloed problem-solving, many businesses face the same barriers to growth: lack of clarity, over-complication, and a disconnected culture around innovation.
If you’re experiencing:
- Product complexity and unclear value
- Stalled digital transformation
- Innovation burnout or leadership misalignment
- Teams unsure how to solve what matters
Then you need more than a consultant. You need an embedded catalyst.
A strategist who builds
(and leaves behind) lasting innovation
I’m Cory Nation, a licensed professional engineer, Lean Six Sigma Black Belt (twice over), and serial entrepreneur who’s helped global brands and growing businesses alike navigate innovation and transformation from the inside out.
I’ve led 100s of workshops, launched and sold businesses, built enterprise innovation roadmaps, and trained thousands in creative problem-solving and operational thinking.
When I embed into your business as an Innovator in Residence, I become your dedicated guide – observing, learning, collaborating, and helping your team unlock answers they’ve never seen before so they can approach problems methodically.
What Happens when I Join Your Team?
1. Onboarding & Discovery
I observe day-to-day operations, culture dynamics, and team rhythms—gathering deep insight into what’s working, what’s stuck, and where the true opportunities are hiding.
2. Strategic Execution Plan
You’ll receive a practical roadmap aligned with your business goals, focused on simplifying complexity, accelerating transformation, and enabling innovation across the org.
3. On-Demand Support & Partnership
I act as a trusted partner for leadership, teams, and departments – bringing insight, creative guidance, and solutioning expertise exactly where it’s needed.
I Solve Problems, but I Teach Your Teams to Do It Too!
While I’ll bring my own thinking and creativity to your business’s most pressing challenges, my goal isn’t to be a permanent fixture.
It’s to equip your people with the mindset, tools, and confidence to carry innovation forward—long after I’ve stepped out.
That includes:
- Custom-developed training programs aligned with your goals
- Ongoing coaching for team leads and managers
- Workshop facilitation built around your real-world problems
- Knowledge transfer processes to embed what we build
This isn’t consulting theater. It’s culture-building with results that last.
Turn Challenges into Clarity!
Bring me in as your embedded innovation partner and let’s build what your customers are needing!
