The Nine Innovation Roles is a concept introduced in the popular book 'Stoking Your Innovation Bonfire' by Braden Kelley and published by John Wiley & Sons in October 2010. It focuses on the role(s) that everyone plays in the success of an organization's innovation efforts - that it is not about whether someone is innovative or not - but how they can contribute to innovation. Everyone has a role to play in successful innovation.
