The Australian Institute of Performance Sciences (AIPS) drives achievement of the economic and social benefits of breakthrough research - for the sustained prosperity and economic wellbeing of all Australians. Breakthrough Australian research has identified "Governance of Value Creation" insight that enables sustained high-performance value-creation in large-scale organisations, and optimising stewardship across sectors.

It facilitates the ongoing collaborative development of leading-edge practices… and delivers coaching for high-performance use by elite practitioners. The AIPS is an independent, for-industry-by-industry not-for-profit, organisation led by an independent expert board. It is funded by subscription across the top 500 participants in the Australian economy including commercial, government and large-scale investor organisations. It promotes enhanced collaborative innovation aware governance practice for evidence based decision-making across all sectors of the economy. The AIPS seeks to lift innovation performance in the Top 500 participants in the Australian economy. Elite organisations participate to improve their own performance, and to work on the disciplined collaborative practices and standards that interconnect the economic ecosystem. The AIPS stimulates effective, quality, innovation practice as a counter-measure to short-termism, executive overload, ideas resistance and career risk. In operation, the Institute expects to stimulate an additional $100bn annual corporate investment on innovation, productivity and export growth. Lifting Australia's globally competitive sustained value-creation performance is the only path to sustained jobs and wage growth for the Australian economy.
