IPS launches our new proprietary learning-support solution MyCLASS,™ a fully customizable, web-based tool for following-up classroom learning and tracking ROI.

To bring the program’s proven approach to strategic execution to the government community, IPS kicks-off Stanford APM in Washington, DC, open to federal government employees, government contractors, nonprofits, and nongovernmental organization.

IPS management and private-equity firm Mainsail Partners obtain ownership of the company's assets; the company's legal name is changed to "IP Solutions, LLC," although it is still doing business as "IPS." 

IPS and SCPD release a new book entitled Executing Your Strategy: How to Break It Down and Get It Done, based on the foundational concepts and models of the Stanford APM program and published by Harvard Business School Press. 

The Stanford Advanced Project Management program graduates its 2,000th Stanford Certified Project Manager (SCPM). The program’s accelerating growth reflects the relevance and poignancy of this innovative curriculum. 

IPS launches an innovative approach to "live" online synchronous (instructor-led) delivery of several Stanford APM courses, the first of which is Managing Without Authority, delivered virtually by Janet Ellison to a class of students spread across several continents.

The Stanford APM program receives the 2005 Distinguished Non-Credit Program Award in November from the Association for Continuing Higher Education (ACHE) at the Association’s annual meeting. This national award recognized the Stanford APM program for its unique delivery system, its innovations in topics, content and program design, and its success in accomplishing set goals, garnering positive student evaluations, and meeting financial metrics. 

Recognizing that projects are only a part of the discipline and science of project management and do not adequately reflect the full scope of necessary competencies related to strategic execution, Integrated Project Systems changes its name to IPSolutions, Inc.

IPS partners with Stanford University and the Stanford Center for Professional Development to develop a groundbreaking Stanford Advanced Project Management curriculum that offers the latest research and thinking on project, program, and portfolio management combined with industry best practices—a curriculum using the learning-in-action method of delivery for which IPS is now renowned.

IPS develops and introduces a seminal Project Planning workshop that brings clarity and definition to project and program launches.

The IPS Planning and Managing Projects curriculum attracts the attention of the Harvard Business School, which publishes the IPS Project Management Manual as an exemplary HBS model of project management.

The IPS project management methodology and training gain worldwide recognition and are adopted by a global Fortune 100 company as its fundamental project management curriculum.

Integrated Project Systems (IPS) is established and begins crafting a unique learning-in-action project management curriculum.
