Testimonials about Ivan and iPower Strategy
I was not surprised by the weight of your logic or the momentum of your life experience, Ivan. I have worked with you before. However, the look of engagement in the faces of the audience and the fact that so many remained behind for informal discussion after a two and half hour workshop was amazing, really!
That is certainly a testament to your honest and fact-fuelled delivery of an engaging and academically well-founded presentation.
Dal Brickenden,
Marketing Faculty at Trinity Western University
There are few people out there who pursue innovation to benefit their clients as dedicatedly as Ivan. In our long history of co-operation and friendship, Ivan managed to always surprise me with new ideas, new initiatives and new angles to old business problems. His approach is an unusual mix of creativity and academic rigour, of process and thinking, of understanding the workings of the new wired world and the proven business principles that still need to sit behind it to make it successful. In that sense, Ivan and his iPower Lab are one of the best consulting partners you will ever find.

Ivan’s message about the importance of creating the “Wow” factor in an organization has continued to resonate with me as I look my own workplace. In a changing business environment where technology allows the rapid sharing of information and ideas, it has become so much more important now for “customers” to be satisfied with your product and service. Thanks for a great presentation, Ivan.

Project Manager at Health Work and Welness Conference
During my last year at the University I had a chance to have Ivan as one of my professors. He not only brought a great deal of real life experiences, but shared with us his real life case studies.
Through his dynamic approach we saw and experienced first hand, his consulting and teaching expertise. His strong skills in Marketing, business strategies and Online and web strategies, help me a great deal to enhance and acquire new skills.
He also became a mentor outside the classroom giving me advise on what career paths to follow, and how to be successful in my future. I not only recommend him as an instructor but as a very detailed professional and consultant, I would without a doubt acquire his services and advice. Because put in his words :”He also knows where the puck is going”.

Cyri Jones
Professor at Capilano University
I had the pleasure of taking a class in International Marketing from Dr. Ivan Surjanovic at the McRae Institute of International Management, and have counted on his superior career advice several times since.
From the first day of class to this day, even two years later, Ivan has always been extremely eager to help and share his clearly expansive knowledge on the business and marketing world. It is my belief that Ivan was the most professional and visionary of our teaching staff, and I know for a fact that many others at McRae felt the same way.
Without hesitation, I give him my fullest recommendation.

Ivan has a great ability to think strategically, yet apply common sense to every problem. Ivan sees the big picture, but is sure to “cut the chase” and focus on those factors that really make a difference to the business…

Testimonials about Ivan’s e-books:
Why is it that some of the most important issues in business are often the very things that are forgotten first? Ivan’s new e-book can help any business person to recapture the essence of what is important for developing, growing, and maintaining a business.
Professor Steve Brokaw, PhD
Marketing Department, College of Business Administration
University of Wisconsin, La Crosse, USA
Very interesting book and a valuable resource for any business or entrepreneur. Ivan’s observations about delighting the customer and viral marketing are very similar with what is known as “LoveMarks” in the advertising arena. It is about creating high respect / high love brands. It is not easy, but it is the right way of doing business. And it pays!
