Facilitation
Our facilitation services build communities through meaningful conversations to adapt to new realities. We identify strengths and opportunities for growth and clarify objectives, ensuring alignment and actionable next steps. Our approach to facilitation is rooted in relationship building and action.
We love designing the best agenda for when people get together. It can be a board meeting, a coalition alignment process, a strategic plan, or anything that a team of big dreamers needs to have the best conversation possible at the moment you are meeting.
We offer support in preparing and training others to facilitate well. We ultimately think like organizers, so we like strengthening teams’ ability to facilitate their own meetings effectively through training and coaching.
Planning is great, but getting plans done is the hard part. Our expert facilitators can help teams step back and assess their progress, as well as develop timelines and action plans that change the world.
Incubation
Our incubation services support the development of impactful ideas to advance the power of low-income and communities of color. We provide resources, leadership development, and strategic guidance to help you refine your vision. We help conduct effective research and design engagement efforts to get the idea off the ground and access vital networks and funding. We aim to empower you to build solid foundations and accelerate your efforts to create meaningful social change.
We love helping visionaries think about new initiatives within organizations or outside an institution. Our team enables you to take it from an idea to a reality with facilitation and coaching.
Early-stage ideas require planning and testing. Let our team offer the expertise on how to do this effectively and get inspired by other sectors and leaders already advancing their work.
From start-up to sustainability. Over half of organizations and companies close their doors after their first three years of launching. This trend is mostly because of a lack of preparedness for rapid growth and leadership development. At Iconico, we have experience supporting organizations going through this process and, at times, helping groups sunset after their missions have been completed.
