Integrated Performance Solutions

What Integrated Performance Solutions does

Integrated Performance Solutions (IPS), founded in 1998 and headquartered in Fort Collins, Colorado, is a privately held, owner-operated professional services firm that designs and develops custom learning and performance improvement solutions for enterprise clients. Its offering spans custom eLearning, microlearning, blended learning, virtual learning, mobile learning, learning analytics, and certified performance consulting, delivered either as turn-key project engagements or as à la carte services (instructional design, graphic design, programming, project management) to augment client teams. The firm applies a proprietary Five-Step Performance Consulting Process to address work, worker, and workplace performance gaps, drawing on cognitive, behavioral, and constructivist learning strategies.

IPS operates a consultative sales motion, engaging enterprise clients through 'Schedule a Demo' and 'Talk With An Expert' CTAs and quoting project-based, scope-defined pricing on multi-year contracts. Revenue is generated entirely through professional services fees; no productized software, SaaS, or licensing stream is disclosed. The firm markets primarily through content channels — its website, blog, articles, ebooks, workshops, webinars, and certification programs (e.g., 'Designing Engaging, High-Impact Microlearning') — and claims delivery capability across The Americas, Asia/Pacific, and EMEA. It has accumulated more than 2,500 custom training programs over 26+ years, with solutions scaled to audiences as large as 246,000 people, across verticals including telecommunications, insurance, healthcare, entertainment, and education. Technology is described in terms of standard authoring tools and LMS integrations rather than proprietary platforms; no AI/ML capabilities, patents, or funding events are disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• GP Strategies: Large, publicly listed provider of training, performance improvement, and learning solutions to enterprise and government clients. A scaled, broader incumbent that competes with IPS on enterprise L&D outsourcing and custom learning engagements, but operates at materially larger scale and across many more service lines.
• Skillsoft: Global corporate learning company spanning content libraries, learning platforms, and custom training services. Indirect overlap with IPS via enterprise L&D budgets and a custom content services arm that competes for the same turn-key custom training RFPs, though anchored by a much larger content catalog and platform business.

Direct peers

• SweetRush: Custom learning solutions provider focused on eLearning, microlearning, gamified learning, and performance support for enterprise L&D teams. Direct competitor on custom content development engagements, with overlapping customer base in healthcare, financial services, and other regulated verticals.
• Allen Interactions: Boutique custom eLearning and microlearning design studio with a proprietary performance-based design methodology. Closest peer to IPS: comparable size, overlapping service lines (custom eLearning, microlearning, blended, performance consulting), and similar enterprise-led sales motion.
• Artisan eLearning: Custom eLearning development company offering instructional design, scenario-based learning, gamification, and rapid development services to enterprise buyers. Closely aligned with IPS on the build-and-deliver side of custom learning content.
• Obsidian Learning: Custom eLearning and blended learning design firm serving enterprise L&D buyers, with comparable size and service scope (eLearning, microlearning, performance consulting). Direct competitor for the same mid-to-large enterprise custom content RFPs that IPS pursues.
• AllenComm: Custom enterprise learning company providing custom eLearning, blended learning, and performance support solutions. Direct competitor on custom corporate learning projects, with comparable service breadth and enterprise-customer focus.
• Float Mobile Learning: Specialist in custom microlearning and mobile learning content for enterprises, with documented experience scaling learning to large, distributed audiences. Highly comparable to IPS on the microlearning and mobile learning service lines specifically.
• CoreAxis Consulting: Custom corporate training and learning solutions consultancy covering instructional design, eLearning, blended learning, and performance improvement. Comparable boutique professional services profile and customer segments (enterprise L&D, leadership development) to IPS.

Emerging players

• Yardstick (Mindset): Boutique custom learning and microlearning provider targeting enterprise L&D teams with a more technology-forward, video-led delivery model. Emerging competitor that overlaps with IPS on microlearning and custom content but differentiates on production tooling and rapid turnaround.
