The InnovateX Academy

We don't teach AI. You leave with it running.

Your team is already using AI, just not always safely or consistently. Invoice fraud still reaches the accounts inbox, Microsoft 365 files are scattered across personal folders, and another course library nobody finishes will not fix any of it. Whether you don't know where to start or aren't getting value from tools you already pay for, each Academy course fixes one practical problem in your business.

Question 1 of 4
Which one's you?

We'll point you at the most useful place to start.

Why we exist

Information was never the problem.

You've watched countless hours of videos on YouTube, the webinars and saved the articles. Knowing isn't what's missing. Implementing is. Most courses hand you information and leave the hard part to you. Ours are built the other way round.

A typical course

  1. Watch the videos
  2. Take some notes
  3. Maybe get a certificate
  4. Nothing in the business changes

An Academy course

  1. Learn it, in five to eight minutes
  2. Do it: one guided step, in your business
  3. Pass the quiz, on to the next lesson
  4. Finish with it running
The fit

For people ready to put it to work.

You do not need to be technical. You do need a real business problem and the willingness to follow the steps in your own business.

This is for you if…

  • You own or lead an Australian small business and need AI, cyber security or technology to work better in the day-to-day.
  • You are an individual contributor who wants practical skills you can use straight away.
  • You have a team that needs consistent, practical training across AI, cyber security and workplace technology.
  • You want plain-English, step-by-step guidance that ends with something set up, not more theory.
  • You are ready to change a setting, a process or a team habit as you learn.

This is not for you if…

  • You want a video library to watch passively or a certificate to collect.
  • You expect someone else to implement every step for you.
  • You need advanced coding instruction, deep technical training or vendor accreditation.
  • You are not prepared to change how the business or team currently works.
How every course works

Finished means implemented.

Quizzes check you know it. Do-steps make sure it happened.

A definition of done

Every course names the outcome that will exist by the last lesson: DMARC live on your domain, protecting email security. Your AI policy adopted. Your team's Microsoft 365 set up properly.

Quizzes validate the knowledge

Pass the quiz to move on. No skimming through to the finish, and no course runs over two hours total.

A do-step in every lesson

Five to eight minutes of teaching, then one action in your own business. By the end, the actions add up to the implementation.

Built from real engagements

The same plans, playbooks and rollouts we implement for consulting clients, packaged so your business can implement them without us. Or, we can work with you directly.

The structure

Which track is yours?

Strategic · owners & directors

Set the plan.

You're responsible for making technology and AI work safely in the business. You leave with the decisions made and scheduled: your AI plan, your risk shortlist, your IT calendar.

StrategyAICyberTechnologyRiskCompliance
Operational · managers & team leads

Run the plan.

You're the one who has to make the plan actually happen. You leave with it rolled out to the team: the playbook, the policies, the platform set up properly.

AdoptionSecurityOperations
Tactical · the whole crew

Make it habit.

You use the tools every day and want more out of them. You leave using them well, daily: safer, faster, with the habits that stick.

The catalogue

Find your first implementation.

Every card says what you leave with. Filter by track, search by topic, and see what's coming before it releases.

Release dates are subject to change without notice.

Premium · Course requests

Not in the catalogue? Ask for it.

Premium members help set what we build next. Name the software you can't get working or the job you want fixed, and if it fits the Academy it goes on the build schedule and gets made: same short lessons, same do-steps, same definition of done. You hear back either way, and the people who asked get it first.

01

You ask

One form inside the Academy. The tool, the process or the risk you want handled. A sentence is enough to start.

02

We scope it

We come back with what the course would cover and what you'd have running by the last lesson. You tell us if that's the thing you meant.

03

It gets a build slot

Requests we take on go on the build schedule with a target month, visible to Premium members, so you can see what's coming and where yours sits.

04

You get it first

Everyone who asked for it hears the day it lands, ahead of the catalogue, and the do-steps are written for businesses like the ones that asked.

Straight up: not every request becomes a course. Some are one conversation rather than six modules, and some sit outside what we teach. What you always get is an answer: a target month, a pointer to the course that already covers it, or a plain no with the reason.

Course requests come with Premium, $99/month inc. GST. Founding Members can put one in from day one.

Prove it

Try five questions from the actual courses.

Every module ends with a quiz. Here's five samples from across the tracks; see how many you answer correctly cold.

Behind the courses

One teaches. One designs. One purpose.

Most business courses are one person and a screen recorder. Every Academy course is built twice: proven in the field by fifteen years of enterprise tech and AI, then engineered to be finishable by a professional curriculum designer. Good luck finding that pairing in another course library.

Planned for October · location TBC

Event dates, times and locations are subject to change without notice.

The Mastermind · Premium · coming late 2026

Never get stuck alone.

The Mastermind is the private community for Premium members: owners, managers and operators working through the same courses in businesses like yours, with us in the room.

Ask the room

Stuck on a step? Post it. Someone in the room has your email provider, your accounting package, your AI questions, and got through it.

Show your work

Members share what they set up and what happened next. Real setups from real Australian small businesses, not polished case studies.

We're in the room

Todd and the InnovateX team are members too, answering questions, running member roundtables, and pointing you at the right course for the problem.

First in line

New courses, workshop dates and event tickets land in the Mastermind before anywhere else.

Straight answers

Questions owners ask.

Isn't this just another video library nobody finishes?

Video libraries hand you information and leave the implementation to you. That's exactly why they go unfinished. Here, every lesson ends with a do-step in your own business and every course has a definition of done. If nothing changed in the business, the course isn't finished, whatever the quiz says.

We're not technical. Is this over our heads?

It's written for owners and staff, not IT people. Plain English, five to eight minute lessons, and every do-step shows exactly where to click. The technical courses exist so you don't have to be.

What is the InnovateX Academy?

An online academy from InnovateX Solutions (an IT and AI Consulting Company) that teaches Australian small businesses practical AI, cyber security and tech. Courses run in three tracks (Strategic for owners, Operational for managers, Tactical for the whole crew), and every course ends with something set up and running in your business, not a folder of notes.

How much does it cost?

Every membership starts with a 7-day free trial. You enter a card but pay $0 today; your selected monthly or annual plan is charged automatically after the trial unless you cancel before it ends. Standard is then $49 a month and covers the whole self-paced library. Premium is then $99 a month and adds implementation workshops with recordings included, course requests, early access and member pricing on events, and The Mastermind, coming late 2026. Prices are in AUD, include GST, and annual billing gets you two months free.

Can we ask for a course that doesn't exist yet?

Yes, and that's a Premium feature. Premium members request the course they need, we scope it with you, and the ones we take on go on the build schedule with a target month, built like everything else: short lessons, a do-step in your own business, a definition of done. Not every request becomes a course, but every request gets an answer, and the members who asked get it first. How requests work

When does it open?

We're launching September 7th 2026, with 21 courses releasing between September 2026 and February 2027, and the catalogue keeps growing from there. The first releases are AI Strategy for Business Owners and Cyber Safe at Work.

How long do courses take?

Tactical lessons run five to eight minutes each, and no course in the catalogue goes past two hours start to finish. A quiz is included with every module, so a finished course means the material sunk in and can be recalled.

Who is behind it?

InnovateX Solutions, an Australian ICT and AI consulting company, led by Todd Johnson: fifteen years in technology and AI across government and enterprise, spanning software development, data, architecture, security, transformation, organisational change and leadership. Now fractional CIO/CTO/CAIO to Australian small businesses. Courses are designed with Angela Johnson, a qualified teacher with over a decade of building curriculums and course outlines.
