Competition & Antitrust Enforcement
Abuse of dominance, mergers, and cartels.
The executive challenge
The problem this program solves
Every layer of competition has an owner, and no layer has accountability: units report outputs, the ministry reports progress, and citizens report nothing changing. Every failed attempt makes the next competition reform harder to fund, staff and announce. You leave with the 100-day plan, the coalition map and the honest measurement that let your competition agenda survive contact with reality.
Context
Why this matters now
Capability
What you will be able to do

- Trace competition money to outcomes and defend the trace under scrutiny.
- Sequence competition reform so it survives resistance, turnover and the next budget cycle.
- Manage competition programmes with fiduciary discipline and visible value for money.
The IPAT Course Standard
The five-day journey
Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.
IPAT Signature Case™
The Subsidy on the Cabinet Table
A subsidy now consumes more than the combined health and education capital budgets of a devolved county government. Two reform attempts ended in protests and retreat; a compensation scheme is possible but untested — and the competition analysis exists for neither.
Your decision: Recommend the removal design, the compensation architecture and the political sequencing — with the cabinet watching.
IPAT Data Lab™
A a ministry of finance cannot trace its spending to outcomes citizens feel.
Dataset: Synthetic expenditure and outcome panel for a ministry of finance, with leakage and coverage gaps.
Your task: Trace money to outcomes, find the value-for-money gaps, and design the dashboard that changes decisions.
An expenditure-to-outcome dashboard and findings memo.
Data → Analysis → Decision, not Data → Code → Certificate
