The Innovation Group, a longtime Associate member of the National Indian Gaming Association, is the premier provider of consulting and management services for the gaming, hospitality, leisure and entertainment industries. For more than 20 years, The Innovation Group has worked with private and public clients in operations, development and banking, including more than 100 Native American Indian and First Nations tribes in more than 25 states and provinces throughout North America.

The company’s inventive, forward-looking staff of professionals is known to its partner tribes and throughout the industry for the accuracy of their market forecasts and their timely response to client needs.

Among The Innovation Group’s core services, the company provides feasibility studies, market assessments, strategic and financial planning, operations and marketing advisory services and economic impact studies of the highest quality. The Innovation Group also launched a data science and new technologies division supporting digital marketing, customer survey and data analytics needs, as well as new technologies including online gaming and sports betting.

The Innovation Group supports tribal communities through its Native American/First Nations Internship Program. Tribal members seeking professional careers in gaming are invited to participate as paid interns side by side with The Innovation Group’s project team in comprehensive studies being undertaken by their tribe—involving expansion feasibility, economic development and database analysis. In addition to offering interns valuable insights to bring back to their careers and operations, the program also invigorates The Innovation Group’s work by adding tribal client perspectives into the work process.
