ICA Associates Inc.
facilitating a culture of participation


ICA Associates Inc. is a unique facilitation and training organization providing effective participatory skills to thousands of people across Canada. ICA Associates Inc. and its affiliate organizations have 40 years of experience in 36 nations. ICA Associates Inc. is on the leading edge of change and consistently delivers quality programs to hundreds of communities and organizations.

Our mission is to promote, develop and enhance people's capacity to participate in the creation of a more human world through:

  • Training in group facilitation and change management methods
  • Facilitation in individual, community and organizational development

Participation allows everyone to share, to work together and to contribute in a meaningful manner. We believe that everyone has wisdom and, therefore, the best plans and solutions are created when everyone participates.

Our core business is to provide facilitation and training services to organizations with a commitment to participation. We facilitate consistent, high-quality, action-oriented programs for hundreds of organizations and communities every year. We provide the following services:

  • Facilitation - to build plans and solutions that everyone is committed to
  • Training - to build internal facilitation capacity
  • Curriculum Development - to create tailored training for your group
  • Process Design - to create the most effective process to get the results you want.
  • Coaching - to share our experience with you.

We use methods that draw out the best thinking of the group. These methods provide facilitators with:

  • a structured method that recognizes all contributions.
  • methods to help the group deal with a large amount of data in a short period of time.
  • methods that pool participants contributions into larger, more information rich patterns.
  • methods that allow you to successfully deal with polarization, conflict and diversity.

As a result, our approach is practical, realistic and humane. At ICA, we turn diversity, disagreement, and change into assets to be embraced, not merely "problems" to be "managed". When you use ICA services, you get more than just good decisions from your group; you gain the commitment of the participants and that is what leads to success. We call these methods Technologies of Participation or ToP™
