Case Studies

• PKKP Strategic Plan | Puutu Kunti Kuruma and Pinikura Peoples Aboriginal Corporation

  IPS was engaged by Native Title Trust holders Perpetual Limited to partner Puutu Kunti Kurrama Pinikura Aboriginal Corporation in the development of a refreshed 2025-2027 strategic plan. The process began with an introductory engagement, inception phase, and a two-day co-design workshop with the PKKP Board and community stakeholders. The resulting strategic plan provided a strong foundation for the PKKP Corporation's long-term success, ensuring resilience and the ability to navigate future challenges while supporting the community’s needs and aspirations.

• SBDC Regional | WA Small Business Development Corporation

  IPS has been contracted by the WA Government to provide business advisory services to small businesses in the South West and Peel regions since 2017, and in 2024 expanded our footprint to include the Midwest-Gascoyne, Pilbara and Wheatbelt regions. IPS business advisors provide a range of coaching and advice around business planning, financial guidance, procurement, strategy, marketing and business development. The service incorporates widespread consultation within the business communities, and is delivered through innovative channels including mobile advisory sessions, collaborative information sessions and industry walkabouts.

• Business Plans and Financial Forecasts | Waalitj Foundation

  The Waalitj Hub provides support to West Australian First Nations people wanting to start, grow or sustain their businesses. IPS is a specialised service provider to the Waalitj Hub’s business support and financial advisory team, and are proud to support Waalitj Hub customers with services including business plan development, financial forecasting, budgeting, capability statements and human resources consulting.

• IBA Partnership Framework Review | Indigenous Business Australia

  Indigenous Business Australia (IBA) sought to enhance its Partnerships Framework to better align with its evolving strategic goals. IPS conducted an in-depth review, identifying the need for clearer definitions of partnership types and improved processes for establishing and managing partnerships. The outcome was a refined framework with clearer guidelines for partnership approval, management, and evaluation. Additionally, IPS proposed an entity-wide partnerships strategy that aligns with IBA’s corporate strategy, focusing on mutual accountability, risk-sharing, and co-design. This strategy ensures that partnerships are strategically aligned, well-managed, and capable of delivering measurable impact.
