Visiting Albany

2/3/2020

​By IPS Bookkeeper Melinda Ely

Last week I was asked if I could accompany IPS Business Consultant Joanne Hill to Albany, as she had already traveled so much that week.

As a bookkeeper, I don’t get to leave the office within my role very often - so this was a great opportunity for me to get out and see what our consultants do.

WOW was I blown away. I read these contracts but don’t have a true understanding of the work that goes on. The jobs that Joanne co-facilitates are real jobs that make a real difference in the community.

The first workshop we attended was a co-facilitation with NOUS for the WA Police department. I was able to join in and be a part of the discussions.

From there we went to a stakeholder engagement for the Aboriginal Business Capability project, with local people in a position to let the Albany Community know what we are doing.

Again, some very interesting discussions were had and I was able to get a better understanding of the work that IPS are doing out in the field.

After this very long day Jo took me for a drive around Albany, as I hadn't been before. We then went to dinner at the Stirling Club Inc., where we ended up staying for a lovely dinner in the company of some locals that Jo suggested we sit with.

We got up early the next morning and headed home the inland way, travelling through some of the little old towns in our South West.

I saw some great sights and had some great conversations with Jo, learning the extent of work that she puts in not only for IPS, but voluntary work for different community groups as well.

IPS Management Consultants are excited about the commencement and delivery of a new Aboriginal Business Capability Building program for Perth, Peel, Great Southern and the South West.

The program, which is funded by the WA Government Department of Finance, will consist of a series of free business capability workshops throughout the target regions, alongside one-on-one business advisory sessions to give participants individual guidance for their businesses and organisations.

"We are passionate about championing Aboriginal businesses to grow and develop. IPS, our advisors and expert partners have a shared desire to continue to create active business ecosystems - an environment where businesses connect and interact, making the most of their opportunities," IPS Commercial and Finance Director Katina Law said.

Our first workshops are commencing on December 17 in the Perth region. The majority of the program will be delivered in the first half of 2020. The workshops will cover topics such as marketing, finance, governance, contracts, writing tenders and human resource management.

“The workshops will be offered in a wide variety of locations across the Perth metro area and in Peel, the South West and the Great Southern. They will also be online so that as many people as possible can attend,” Katina said.
