Work with leading experts and materials
In this course, 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 modelling, 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.
Extract the right metrics from your customer journey to prepare your financial model based on actionable metrics. This module is a helpful precursor for following
Innovation Accounting modules.
Qualitative and quantitative data do not exist in opposition. Both are necessary to a complete understanding of where the desirability of the product meets the viability of the business. Storyboarding is a simple way to start integrating both perspectives into a complete picture of how the user experience impacts the business model.
This module will strengthen your understanding of the difference between actionable and vanity metrics and prepare you for the Financial (and Mission Impact) Modelling module.
Whether or not you have written business cases before, this module will shed a light on essential input metrics of a financial model and identify the levers of growth.
We encourage you to bring a real example you are currently working on. This startup or corporate innovation project can be pre-revenue or an early-stage revenue venture.
This module focuses on translating your Business Model or customer journey into a financial model using the most important metrics of your business, what the relationship is between the specific customer and product metrics, and growth types. It further focuses on the difference between actionable and vanity metrics, setting the base for a deeper analysis and tracking real future progress.
As you are dealing with a startup or innovation project, each input metric created in the previous module is by nature very uncertain. To express the most likely outcome of your model we first guide you through how to express each important input variable within a range, rather than as a single number.
For example, you are very uncertain about how much customers are actually willing to pay for your new product. This is understandable without proper historical data. The best possible input into your model is your 90% confidence interval. We will go through some other specifics before running a Monte Carlo simulation that will show you the most probable outcome of your venture. Armed with this information, you can ask the model questions about how likely it is to hit a certain target.

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.
