What Our Clients Say

Australian Taxation Office (ATO)

IPS has successfully provided the ATO’s Manager Development Program since 2017. The IPS team is very professional and easy to work with. They have a diverse group of facilitators who can provide service across the country, and experience in delivering similar programs for other Government departments.

Kylie Pellagreen
Leadership & Management Development

Business Advisory Client

We have learned so much through Business Advisory workshops and the services provided. There are so many small things you need to consider – and speaking to IPS Management Consultants has given us the confidence and encouragement to do what we want to do.

Krissini
Margaret River, WA

Department for Environment and Water ​

We engaged IPS to help design and deliver an engagement process to gain stakeholder input into the development of a heritage tourism strategy and action plan for South Australia. IPS' engagement experience resulted in the development of a realistic and flexible engagement package that resulted in strong participation by both heritage and tourism industry stakeholders. In particular the workshop design enabled these two sectors to come together to discover shared values and aspirations for heritage tourism in South Australia in a positive environment. Participants commented on the flow of the workshop and the combination of activities (which could be adapted depending on the group mix) which left them feeling heard and that their input was valued.
Overall, the IPS team was responsive to our needs and budget, providing guidance where required while also being adaptable to ensure desired outcomes were met. This successful engagement process has provided a solid foundation for the development of the strategy and action plan. 

Linda Lacey
Project Manager, Heritage Tourism

SWSB Participant

IPS has delivered an exceptional program of incredible value and quality. This is the best course I have undertaken and included elements and discussions I have been unable to access and talk about in any other environment. Highly recommend and very grateful to have attended.
