We don’t follow others.
We research the future.

Ithaca's philosophy has always been to support and conduct independent research into critical business issues.  We regularly contribute new thoughts and ideas via our blog and newsletters; sponsor post-graduate research plus teach and present at conferences around the world.  Our papers are not about marketing Ithaca - they focus on empirical investigation and answering questions that matter.

serious questions deserve serious answers

In fulfilling Ithaca’s commitment to independent research we produce work in the following ways:

White Papers

 Ithaca has directly undertaken several independent research projects, predominantly focused on the healthcare sector – but with learnings for all sectors.

Ithaca’s Pathfinder

For over eight years Ithaca’s Principal, Gen Ford, has been writing and delivering Post-Graduate courses on Business Process and Supply Chain Strategy and Operations.  These have been delivered in Australia, Singapore, United Kingdom, Taiwan and China.

Speaker Presentations

Ithaca Representatives have been asked to present refereed and non-refereed papers at various Conferences, Universities and Forums across Europe, Asia, North America and Australia.

Co-Copyright Independent Research

Each year Ithaca sponsors the dissertations of several Masters students, suggesting topics we believe deserve more research, introducing students to appropriate primary sources and mentoring their efforts.

Many of the papers, presentations and results of Ithaca’s extensive and ongoing research commitment are available for you to access here – simply click through to each area to see the topics that have been tackled, then download the ones in which you have an interest.

Newsletters & Blog

Ithaca produces an irregular newsletter for its clients - generally coming together once or twice a year as a result of particular events in the broader environment - or issues we notice affecting our clients.   In addition to our Newsletters, we post to our Blog on at least a fortnightly basis - and welcome your particpation in that forum.  

Feel free to contact us should you wish to discuss any aspect of the research undertaken, results reported – or information on how we can help your business undertake such projects.
