Our Strategic Alliances

The Stanford Center for Professional Development
For the past three decades, the Stanford Center for Professional Development has extended Stanford’s premier academic and research programs beyond campus boundaries to address the career-long education needs of the country’s top managers and engineers. They have joined forces with IPSolutions to create and deliver a series of breakthrough courses in advanced project management.

The curriculum of the Stanford Advanced Project Management program is designed to advance the discipline and practice of project management among both degreed professionals and industry-leading organizations throughout the world. It combines Stanford University’s academic and research expertise with proven methodologies.

Courses in this program address the challenges of successfully converting organizational strategy into action through the superior execution of complex projects and programs. Attendees in this program are positioned to become key contributors to their organization through their ability to generate exceptional operational results.

ActiveStrategy
ActiveStrategy are practitioners of Enterprise Strategy Execution with hands-on experience developing and deploying strategic management frameworks, Balanced Scorecards, dashboards, Six Sigma, and more.

Before launching ActiveStrategy, its founders applied these business-redefining techniques to many of the world’s most successful organizations, helping them achieve superior results.  Along the way they realized that, while these methodologies were superb, manually tracking and reviewing reports and Scorecards couldn’t produce the kind of immediate response critical in business today.

Thus, they developed software to help companies more quickly and more efficiently apply their proven management methods. The result is the preeminent web-based software system for Enterprise Strategy Execution, which is today the most widely deployed and successfully used software for execution of strategy.
