THE PROJECT INCUBATOR

Turning ideas into learning experiences

In the Project Incubator, Prefix initiates or supports concrete initiatives.

Each project within the incubator is a living experience, carried out with field partners, members of the Prefixia community, or client organisations. Some are fully led by Prefix, while others are co-created with actors committed to meaningful change.

Beyond the expected outcome, each project becomes an experimental ground to:

• Test and refine the tools and methods developed in the Solution Incubator.
• Offer Prefix community members the opportunity to learn how to manage projects and use steering tools in a real and stimulating context.
• Support collective initiatives that create meaning and impact.

The project cycle within the incubator

Each project follows the eight stages of Circular Project Management, a method developed by Prefix within its Solution Incubator.

These eight stages are grouped into four main phases of progression:

1. Pre-project The idea emerges, its feasibility is analysed, and the most relevant path to implementation is clearly defined.
2. Planning Needs are detailed, tasks and costs are planned, risks are anticipated, and key actors are identified.
3. Execution The project is deployed, planned actions are carried out, tools are adjusted, and learnings are continuously shared.
4. Closure Results are consolidated, lessons learned are formalised and disseminated to extend the impact beyond the project itself.
