The executive challenge

The problem this program solves

Cabinet approved public procurement integrity on a slide; the fiscal analysis, the delivery plan and the incentive structure were all to follow. They never did. Citizens do not read the implementation matrix; they experience the clinic, the road, the public procurement integrity service — or its absence. You leave with the 100-day plan, the coalition map and the honest measurement that let your public procurement integrity agenda survive contact with reality.

Context

Why this matters now

Every public procurement integrity reform window is shorter than the political cycle that opens it.
Evidence-based public procurement integrity is moving from aspiration to requirement: appraisal, evaluation and value-for-money scrutiny.
Fiscal pressure is structural: rising debt service and shrinking aid budgets demand a different public procurement integrity statecraft.

Capability

What you will be able to do

  • Sequence public procurement integrity reform so it survives resistance, turnover and the next budget cycle.
  • Trace public procurement integrity money to outcomes and defend the trace under scrutiny.
  • Design public procurement integrity policy that survives implementation: evidence, incentives and delivery capability.
  • Present public procurement integrity evidence at the cabinet table with brevity, honesty and stakes.

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 water services regulator. Two reform attempts ended in protests and retreat; a compensation scheme is possible but untested — and the public procurement integrity 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 water services regulator cannot trace its spending to outcomes citizens feel.

Dataset: Synthetic expenditure and outcome panel for a water services regulator, 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.
