Voting Closed – Top 40 Innovation Bloggers of 2013
Innovation Excellence loves making innovation insights accessible for the greater good, because we truly believe that the better our organizations get at delivering value to their stakeholders the less waste of natural resources and human resources there will be.
As a result we are eternally grateful to all of you out there who take the time to create and share great innovation articles, presentations, white papers, and videos and to make a list of the Top 40 Innovation Bloggers available each year.
Our lists from the three previous years have been tremendously popular:
Top 40 Innovation Bloggers of 2010 (download the PDF)
Top 40 Innovation Bloggers of 2011 (download the PDF)
Top 40 Innovation Bloggers of 2012 (download the PDF)
Innovation Excellence is now looking for the Top 40 Innovation Bloggers of 2013.
Do you, or does someone you know, write articles about innovation?
Or do you just have someone that you like to read that writes about innovation, or some of the important adjacencies – trends, consumer psychology, change, leadership, strategy, marketing, management, collaboration, or social media (as they relate to innovation)?
Well, Innovation Excellence is looking to recognize the Top 40 Innovation Bloggers and you helped us find them with your nominations. Now it is time to vote, and help us narrow things down to a list of the Top 40 Innovation Bloggers of 2013.
People who vote for someone will be entered into the prize drawings for a range of great prizes (we’ll add more prizes here as event organizers and others offer them up), including:
- Conference Tickets – events TBD (why not yours?)
- Two (2) one-year subscriptions to our very affordable Innovation Excellence Research offering – $300 per person per year value (each)
- Two (2) signed copies of the five-star book – Stoking Your Innovation Bonfire by Braden Kelley – priceless
- Two (2) copies of How Stella Saved the Farm by Chris Trimble and Vijay Govindarajan- $19.99 value each
- More prizes TBD
The deadline for submitting votes is December 31, 2013 at midnight GMT.
The ranking will be done by me with influence from votes and nominations. The quality and quantity of contributions to Innovation Excellence by an author will be a BIG contributing factor (through the end of the voting period), so there is still time for authors and bloggers to make their first (or your best) contribution to Innovation Excellence yet. To contribute to Innovation Excellence, simply:
- Join the community
- Click on the ‘Add Content’ option in the site’s main menu and log in with the same username and password you used to create your account
You can vote in any of these four ways (and each earns points for them, so please feel free to vote all four ways):
- Sending us the name of the blogger by @reply on twitter to @ixchat
- Adding the name of the blogger to the comments below
- Adding the name of the blogger as a comment to this article’s posting on Facebook
- Adding the name of the blogger as a comment to this article’s posting in our Linkedin Group (20,500+ members)
The official Top 40 Innovation Bloggers of 2013 and the contest winners will then be announced on Innovation Excellence on January 2, 2014.
We’re curious to see who you think is worth reading.

I’d like to nominate Kate Hammer of Kiln @kate_hammer for the award. I consider she represents both radical and deeply researched new thinking on innovation, and looking forward to finding out more about all this next year.
Some pundits on emotional intelligence focus almost entirely on the first word. Not Kate Hemmer(@kate_hammer). Her thoughts are always thoughtful – and imaginative. She really understands storytelling.
Greg Fraley (@greggfraley) is the most engaging evangelist for creativity I know. He sees ways of applying imagination most of us would never have thought of.
A vote for Kate Hammer!

My vote’s for Gregg Fraley @greggfraley and Kate Hammer @kate_hammer – they’re an inspirational pair. Looking forward to reading more in the New Year.
My vote goes to Mike Brown of Zbrain Zooming.
I vote for Mike Brown (aka @BrainZooming on Twitter). Mike’s insight and advice in all his blog posts and sessions spans the full gamut of innovation. He definitely takes the “no” out of innovation.
Most people think of innovation as inventing new products or processes. Yet Mike applies innovation to the very way we think about everything. His breadth is endless. From careers to strategic planning to customer service and more, Mike is showing everyone that innovation is an outlook as well as an action.
Bravo Mike!
Steve todd gets my vote.
