E-books - ICR Academy Publications
The ICR academy with the ICR cycle to go successfully from ambition to results

E-Books

Most organizations don’t struggle because people don’t care. They struggle because their system forces them into firefighting, fragmentation and constant reactivity. Leaders crave clarity. Teams need rhythm. Organizations want meaningful progress — not just motion. Our e-books reveal why these problems persist, and how a different approach — powered by alignment, rhythm and an Organizational Operating System — can transform performance from the inside out. Explore the ideas that help modern organizations move from chaos to clarity, and from effort to real results.

The unifying foundation behind alignment, growth and people-first performance. The thinking layer behind the Organizational Operating System.


A manifesto to reveal what sits beneath sustainable performance — and why growth breaks when alignment is treated as an afterthought.


After reading this, leaders have a clear foundation for action.

"The ICR Manifestos are grounded in scientific knowledge and insights and validated by real-world practice. They are not abstract theory, but practical thinking frameworks designed to support sustainable, human-centered growth — structured, applicable, and accessible."

Package Deal with the Four Manifesto's. Four perspectives. One coherent foundation.


The strength of ICR lies not in isolated ideas, but in the connection between ambition, growth, people, and positioning.


The ICR Manifesto Package brings together four in-depth manifestos that each stand on their own, yet reinforce one another as a single, coherent way of thinking:


  • The Alignment Manifesto – Aligns personal ambition, leadership, and organization.

  • The Growth Manifesto – Provides direction for structured, sustainable growth.

  • The People-First Performance Manifesto – Connects human focus with lasting performance.

  • The Category Manifesto – Challenges conventional thinking on positioning and differentiation.


Together, these manifestos form a solid foundation for conscious leadership and strategic decision-making.

Problems are not obstacles to progress. They are signals guiding organizations back to coherence.

ICR Troubleshooting — Detailed Diagnostic Cases

Recurring organizational problems are rarely isolated incidents. They are signals of missing coherence between ambition, behavior, structure and results. This book offers a diagnostic perspective on those signals through a series of detailed cases — not to provide solutions, but to help leaders, teams and advisors see more clearly what organizational problems are truly revealing.


After reading this book, readers understand why problems keep returning, how to distinguish symptoms from underlying dynamics, and how ambition, behavior and structure interact in daily practice. They leave with sharper questions, a shared diagnostic language, and the insight needed to restore coherence before choosing interventions.

Winning as an Organization

How coherence turns ambition into sustainable results

An ICR Academy Publication — The ICR Foundations


Winning is often framed as outperforming competitors or achieving growth targets. At ICR, we take a different starting point.


Winning as an Organization explores what it truly means to win in a complex and changing world.
Not by forcing results or optimizing isolated parts, but by building coherence between ambition, people, structure and results.


This book presents a clear and integrated way of thinking about organizations as systems.
It shows how mission, vision, values, strategy, culture and performance reinforce — or undermine — one another when coherence is present or absent.


Rather than offering quick fixes or tactical frameworks, this publication invites reflection.
It is written for leaders, advisors and organizations seeking sustainable success by becoming structurally better — not just bigger.
