Financial forecasts for startups and corporate innovation initiatives are notoriously unreliable. But instead of throwing them away entirely, this course will show you how to create a financial model with high uncertainty. The result should be more accurate predictions and a way of tracking progress.
The course consists of interactive live workshops, self-paced learning supported by videos and all necessary resources, as well as personal coaching. We invite participants to use an early-stage venture of their choice. Applying theory to a real-world example will provide immediate value beyond learning the principles.
Actionable Metrics are the cornerstone of a good model and subsequent lead indicators for success. As a participant, you will discover how to extract the necessary metrics from any business or mission model and avoid vanity metrics. You will learn why and how to express each variable within a confidence interval before enabling a Monte Carlo Simulation. This results in the best possible prediction for your model. Lastly, we will see how the analysis can help with a range of decision making and what to do next.
The approach, different from traditional financial modeling, identifies a venture’s key risks, levers of growth, and potential more objectively.
Innovation Accounting adds to the available toolset. Everything is evolving, as is accounting, and there is a better approach to analyse the real value potential and risk of your venture – whether it’s a startup or corporate innovation project.

Elijah is passionate about an honest and data-driven approach to innovation as it lets people with the best ideas flourish and builds lasting relationships.
Our mission is to play a significant role in the revolution that innovation management itself is going through right now. We want to create lasting impact in the way organisations handle innovation. We are on the forefront of Innovation Accounting as it is just as significant for innovation as to the role of Management Accounting or Modern Scientific management had on organisations as a whole.
We make innovation manageable by assisting in measuring the right things and coaching in Innovation Practices so you can find out what really works and make better decisions. Innovation Metrics is based in Australia, serving primarily the Asia Pacific Region.
We assist startups, corporates, NGOs and government clients to better measure and
manage innovation. We provide ecosystem assessments, strategy advice as well as training
and coaching for teams and leaders to systematically test and launch new business models.
