About Us

Our Story: leading behaviour change

It starts with people

Change doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens when we listen, understand, and co-create solutions with real people. That’s why everything we do is built around insight—getting to the heart of what drives behaviour and decision-making.

From insight to impact

We don’t just gather data; we unlock the ‘why’ behind behaviours. This deep understanding shapes the services, environments, and experiences we design—ensuring they work for the people who need them most.

Co-created to last

Transformation isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. We work alongside people, communities, and organisations to develop solutions that are not only effective but also sustainable, creating real, lasting transformation.

Embedding change & equipping for growth

Our work doesn’t stop at delivery. We transfer knowledge, skills, and assets—helping individuals, communities and organisations build resilience and confidence to continue evolving long after we’ve gone.

Our difference

We see the bigger picture and the people within it. Change isn’t just about strategy…

It’s about hearts, minds & actions.

It’s not just what we do—it’s how we do it:

with passion, partnership, & a relentless focus on making better happen.

At ICE, we don’t deliver one-size-fits-all solutions;

we shape solutions with the people they impact, ensuring change is meaningful, measurable, and built to last.
