What makes the Applied Innovation Centre unique?
We take a holistic approach to all investigations built around four decades of experience consulting to the WA public service, Local Councils, Not-for-profits and private organisations.
We understand the politics behind investigations.
We recognise that the term ‘investigation’ can cover a multitude of situations.
We are also conscious that the outcome of an investigation can result in disharmony and disruption in the workplace. It is for this reason that our services extend beyond the provision of a detailed and reasoned investigation report. We also support our investigations with assistance for all parties by:
- Conducting mediations between the parties using our accredited mediators
- Providing mentoring or coaching for leaders and managers in dealing with staff concerns, Grievances, performance and other difficult situations
- Reviewing business processes to discover the underlying causes of the difficult behaviours or situation
We also provide services to assist clients with business transformation, cultural change, leadership and change management.
Further, we will provide you with advice and guidance regarding your statutory reporting obligations to the Public Sector Commission or the Corruption and Crime Commission.

Our capabilities span across the spectrum of investigative, people and culture strategy.
Our investigators have gained international experience in the investigation of matters ranging from minor acts of workplace misconduct to the most serious of criminal offences.

Why should you engage the Applied Innovation Centre?
Any investigation should be conducted properly. When you’re responsible for handling a staff grievance, disciplinary concern or complaint about behaviour, the pressure is on. Unresolved conflict and misconduct can disrupt your business and be extremely costly. If you perform the investigation yourself or using in-house resources, it is likely to be time consuming and gruelling.
A bad situation will become worse if anyone involved thinks you have:
- A biased opinion
- Any conflict of interest
- Failed to follow the rules of procedural fairness
- Been non-compliant with workplace health and safety obligations
How does the Applied Innovation Centre work?
We conduct all investigations with a process that:
- Is clear, fair and thorough
- Is respectful and engaging
- Includes a thorough review of all relevant evidence
- Delivers high-quality evidence-based reports and recommendations
- Ensures minimal disruption to you and your business
