Testimonials
Working with Wendy closely on the planning and strategic direction in a mentoring relationship over a number of months proved beneficial when it came to cleaning up and tightening the framework of my business.
Freestyle Composites Australia Pty. Ltd.
As a young person in business and lacking confidence in a number of areas, the journey with Wendy as a mentor guiding and empowering me to achieve my dream of having a thriving and successful small business is now coming to life and evolving as I put the hard yards and commitment into making it all a reality.
Participating in the I-IBS Mentoring Program, the weekly meetings showed that Wendy was always extremely well-prepared and professional which led to strong productivity and innovation with the developing of our organisation.
Wendy has not only assisted with realistic solutions to our identity issues, but has also given us the "bigger picture" - Wendy works from the part (in fine detail) to the whole and beyond, providing a friendly, attentive and personalised service that is unequalled.

Information Management & Systemisation (IP)
Need to consolidate and manage knowledge with your business?
We work closely with the small business owner/operators and key staff in your business to capture information resources within your business for the purpose of brand consolidation, reformatting and content improvement to ensure your business has the best array of strategic document resources available. We then integrate our IP Document Management System (windows based) onto your network to enable the business to operate in an efficient and streamlined professional manner. This often results in us setting up a mini IP Department (utilising your nominated existing staff member) in your business to quality control and maintain information resources to ensure consistent branding for the business, ongoing innovation and quick access for staff to the most current resources. We also provide full training for all staff through a two phased training program.
Our IP Portfolio System covers areas such as:
- IP Management
- IP Style Guide
- IP Maintenance Tool Kit
- Document Template Creation
- Document consolidation, innovation and refinement
|
- Document indexing, cross referencing and audit systems
- Policy & Process development and implementation
- Human Resources systems
- IP Access security and controls
- Staff Training Program
|

|
Branding, consolidation, refinement and secured business resources will improve the level of efficiency and professionalism within your business to ensure long term growth and success.
