About the Institute of Commissioning & Assurance

At the ICxA, we are transforming capital project delivery – placing commissioning leadership at the core of project execution from day one to ensure success, accountability, and lasting impact.

Infrastructure projects fail too often when commissioning is relegated to a rushed, underfunded final phase – misunderstood and overlooked. We’re here to change that, for good.

We’re a global coalition – academia, business executives, project leaders, and commissioning professionals – united by a single truth:

Projects don’t fail at the finish. They fail at the start.

We developed the ICA Global Commissioning Standard — to redefine how complex projects succeed – applying a proven, practical framework that drives excellence across industrial plants, energy systems, and the broader built environment. Backed by rigorous training, advanced tools, and an expanding knowledge base, it empowers leaders to navigate every phase with clarity, control, and confidence, ensuring outcomes are not just promised, but delivered.

• Set the Standard
  The ICA Global Commissioning Standard defines best practice commissioning-led governance across every phase – ensuring alignment from planning consents to operational readiness.

• Educate – Integrate – Innovate
  Through on-demand, industry-specific training, we equip professionals to lead real-world projects with commissioning-led outcome assurance methodologies that deliver results.

• Empower Stakeholders
  Our tools, resources, and expert community provide the framework to apply Outcome Assurance thinking across every project – helping leaders drive success with clarity and confidence.

• Advance the Conversation
  Through thought leadership, newsletters, and a dynamic membership network, we champion a new generation of governance-led, commissioning-focused leadership to transform infrastructure performance.

Every complex project in the built environment. Whether you’re an owner-operator, financier, executive sponsor, delivery agent, industry organization, or practitioner shaping value creation – this is yout community. You belong here.

• The future of project delivery isn’t reactive. It’s strategic. It’s systematized. And it’s led by professionals who follow a proven standard.

  Let’s transform how the world delivers projects — one outcome at a time.
