Hospitality Management

What Hospitality Management does

Inntegrated Hospitality Management Ltd. (IHM) is a privately held, Alberta-incorporated professional services firm founded in 1997 by Ralph R. Miller and co-founder Gordon I. Zavediuk, headquartered near Calgary in Foothills, Alberta. The firm delivers integrated consulting and management services to the hospitality industry across five service categories: Management Services (operations, asset, and distressed property management), Advisory & Operating Efficiency (market assessment, operations review, digital marketing, HR administration), Financial Reporting (USALI-compliant development, accounting policies, reporting evaluation), Lender & Receiver Support (turnaround strategy, distressed property management, operational due diligence, reporting assessment), and Specialized Services (valuation, litigation support, development planning, project feasibility).

IHM does not operate a proprietary technology platform; its competitive foundation is human expertise codified through credentials (CPA, CA, CBV, CHA, CHAE, CMA), USALI standards authorship, and 350+ combined years of senior hospitality management experience across the team's named roster. The firm's documented experience covers PMS, booking engines, digital media platforms, and BI systems as practitioner users rather than as product builders.

IHM operates as a fee-for-service, consultative professional services firm with quote-based pricing and multi-year engagements. The four primary customer segments are lenders (banks, mortgage corporations, mezzanine and private lenders), owners (individuals, investors, PE firms, strata corporations), restructuring firms (law firms, receivers, accounting firms), and realization firms (real estate and business brokers, financial intermediaries). The firm serves Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest, with no disclosed US subsidiary, and pursues business development through direct enterprise engagement, professional referrals, and leadership roles in HFTP, AH&LA, Skål International, and the Turnaround Management Association.
