ICA Associates Inc.

ICA Associates Inc. is a Canadian consulting and training firm that focuses on social entrepreneurship and specializes in facilitating participatory group processes. We work as facilitators for both small and large groups across various sectors, collaborating with organizations eager to involve their members. Essentially, if you want to tap into the energy of genuine collaboration, you require experts to design and guide inclusive, participatory processes, which is our primary focus. Each year, ICAA trains around 1,000 individuals to support their development as group process facilitators. Our comprehensive curriculum is recognized by the International Association of Facilitators, as we assist facilitators in honing their professional skills. Organizations looking to adopt a more inclusive and collaborative approach often invite ICAA to conduct in-house training for entire teams or departments to enhance productive engagement with one another and with stakeholders. Our consultants can apply any appropriate group process as needed, but we particularly specialize in the Technologies of Participation™ (ToP Methods™). ICAA is globally recognized as a leading provider of ToP Methods™ training. These methods originated from grassroots community development efforts around the world, led by the Institute of Cultural Affairs since the 1960s, and have been consistently refined, enhanced, and published in Canada since the 1990s.
