John McKenzie, founder of Innovastat, has extensive experience in teaching and consulting in the areas of Monte Carlo simulation, optimization under uncertainty, forecasting, and inferential statistics. Innovastat , headquartered in Boulder, Colorado provides consulting and training for applied decision and risk analysis - locally, nationally, and internationally. It is very much interested in natural resources and the international agricultural community. It offers seminars and consultation to farmers in the developing world. Innovastat believes that without the benefit of today’s corporate technology to assess and manage risk prior to making major farming decisions, small farmers face conditions that add significantly to their risk and reduce their likelihood of success, sustainability and profitability.
