Gregg's diverse background includes everything from founding and managing high-flying technology companies to working as a television producer. Now he's the author of the first ever business fable about creative problem solving, "Jack's Notebook." He's currently working on a graphic novel about making deliberate creative life choices.

He's faced a variety of creative challenges in his life. He's been everything from a photographer to a stand up comedian and improvisor. Primarily he's been an entrepreneur, and now an in-demand consultant, ideation facilitator, and speaker. Gregg knows how to speak directly to the heart of a group and he inspires the teams he works with to come up with innovative ideas. His ideation sessions have produced market leading products. Gregg works with newly released prisoners as well, helping them find work, and teaching them to use creative thinking to solve their problems.

He is one of the best ideation/brainstorming facilitators available -- his sessions achieve client business results. He has developed unique "Innovisation" tools and techniques for getting teams to think up breakthrough ideas. These tools are adapted from the world of improvisational comedy to apply directly to thorny business challenges. These tools fit within a structured problem solving model and the tools work, even with inexperienced ideators. Many ideation facilitators can take a group through a structured session. Gregg is one of the few that can introduce spontaneity into the structure and have people truly thinking differently. If you've been unhappy with brainstorming results in the past and want to try someone with a fresh and effective approach, try Gregg Fraley.
