What our customers say about us...

We recently ran a whiteboard session with IBRS advisor Antony Stinziani to assist with our approach to corporate service centre consolidation. We really appreciated his approach that has helped to validate our way forward. Antony brought his depth of being a CIO at several large and complex federal and local agencies into the session.

Thank you for the board presentation. Feedback from the board was positive, and the Chair summarised it as: “Thanks for arranging the board presentation – it landed well, and I think has given good food for thought in terms of our tech strategy and way forward”. There was more, including having regular sessions with the Board regarding what we are doing, our thinking around technology, and what I will be doing. We can talk more as we start to develop our next three year strategic plan.

The conversation with Joe reinforced some of my current thinking around the issues to be addressed regarding enterprise search capabilities and priorities. Due to the complexities of enterprise information and data management, there are many strategies and options which could be implemented. I enjoy the free ranging conversations with Joe as they assist with identifying any opportunities or risks which may not have been considered.

I have utilised IBRS advisory services for nearly 10 years now because of the range of independent and insightful research they undertake and which has real relevance to organisations operating in the Australian market. No matter what my enquiry has been about, I have always received timely and high quality advice I can trust.

As per the nature of the preliminary inquiry, Andrew was engaged and helpful. Material provided was relevant and will be used to inform and guide progress. Thanks.

Being our real first engagement with IBRS, David took a lot of time to understand the business, our problems, and strategies, and nothing was a hassle; David brought this experience to the table, focused a lot on his experience/case studies which exactly what we wanted to hear, table this with a methodology and experience, it hit the mark. David has a nice demeanour and can bring a conversation to light with his wealth of knowledge. Thank you
