What Icb Productions does

ICB Productions (legal name: Inclusive Community Builders Productions) is a privately held, founder-owned training, consulting, and management firm headquartered in Miami Gardens, Florida. Founded circa 2001 by Dr. Deryl G. Hunt, the company delivers diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) advisory services to organizations in the public, private, and governmental sectors, with stated operational reach across the United States, the Bahamas, Haiti, Panama, Turks and Caicos Islands, Nigeria, India, and broader Africa.

The company's product portfolio is anchored on a unified proprietary methodology called The ICB Approach™, which combines two trademarked frameworks — The Ellison Model™ (TEM™) and the GOMABCD™ seven-step process — together with a related component called Five Foci™. Service lines comprise Consultation/Program Development, Training Services (soft skills, webinars, individual and group programs), Management Services (human capital and social climate management), the ICB Seal Certification (5-year organizational credential contingent on 21 contact hours), a free Library Access subscription, and an annual virtual EmpowerMEN conference. Technology is limited to a GoDaddy-hosted marketing and account site; there is no native app, API, or AI component.

ICB generates revenue through quote-based professional services engagements scoped to client budget, staff size, and desired outcomes, plus recurring certification renewals. Distribution is direct, sales-led, and founder-reputation-driven, with named engagements including the Bahamian Government, the Turks and Caicos Government, religious organizations, and individual professionals. The firm operates with 11–50 employees, has not raised institutional capital, and shows no disclosed revenue or AI capability.
