You move the organization, we light the way!
What IPAC Does
IPAC generates action from insight, leveraging an evidence-based understanding of people and organizations to propel decision-making and forward movement. As a research consultancy within the University of Connecticut, we combine the rigor of peer-reviewed science with the practical know-how from decades of consulting with exceptional leaders and organizations. And in this age of AI, we are a source of original knowledge, not just an aggregator of others’ information.
Action-Insight (n.)
The building block of everything we do. Evidence-based understanding with a vector…designed not just to inform, but to propel action. Not insight for its own sake, but for clarity that moves.
Our Services
Assess
We will partner with you to collect critical information and synthesize it into actionable insights. We do this by framing research questions; developing assessments; collecting data using scientifically rigorous methods; designing and implementing quantitative and qualitative research designs; calculating normative benchmarks; capturing measures at individual, team, department, organization, region, and industry sector levels; synthesizing and summarizing results.
Equip
Once we have insights into what you need to do, we will equip you with the knowledge, information, and tools required for you to take action. We do this by interpreting the results in context; helping you identify and set priorities; drafting action plans with measurable goals; providing training on critical capabilities, tools, and frameworks; creating tailored tools and job aids; implementing and evaluating new processes; and building your confidence and credibility.
Advise
And when you move forward, we are there with you every step of the way. We do this by being a trusted thought partner and sounding board on decisions and strategy; a confidante; an executive coach and advisor; facilitator of team and stakeholder meetings; and always there to assist in identifying solutions and alternatives to problems and opportunities.

About IPAC
At IPAC, the University of Connecticut’s non-profit applied research center housed within an R‑1 institution, our differentiator is the rigor of our science. We don’t simply repackage existing models or rely on intuition; we conduct original research, develop proprietary tools, and apply psychological science to real leadership and organizational challenges.
By embedding academic standards into every engagement, we ensure our insights are evidence-based, replicable, and built for action. As part of a major research university, we draw on deep interdisciplinary expertise and generate datasets that fuel ongoing scholarship, allowing us to deliver solutions that are not only scientifically sound but also immediately useful to leaders and organizations globally.
