About ICI

Fractional expertise for organizations that matter

ICI works with mission-driven organizations to develop, define, and act on their own metrics of success. We specialize in facilitating strategic conversations that produce new systems, clearer processes, and measurable improvement.

Our approach is hands-on and practical — documenting processes, training staff to become change agents within their own organizations, and coaching leaders toward better strategy and decision-making. We don't hand you a report and leave; we stay until the change sticks.

Our Approach

How we work

ICI operates as a trusted partner embedded within your organization — not a distant advisor. Our fractional model delivers senior expertise precisely when and where you need it.

01

Clarify Purpose & Direction

We start by deeply understanding your organization's vision, stakeholders, and current constraints. Together we define what success looks like and build shared language around it.

02

Design & Implement Systems

From data collection frameworks to change management plans, we build practical systems your team can own and operate — not solutions that require our continued presence to function.

03

Track Progress & Adapt

We establish performance tracking from the start, creating feedback loops that allow your team to learn, adapt, and demonstrate impact to the stakeholders who matter most.

"Mike and ICI helped the Art Base bring clarity and focus to our strategic planning process. Through thoughtful guidance and a collaborative approach, Mike walked our team through identifying meaningful measures of success tied to our strategic priorities and objectives. He was a skilled teacher and facilitator, helping us understand not only what to measure, but why it matters and how to implement the process improvements to achieve impact."

Annie Henninger, Executive Director — The Art Base
