On Track with the ICR Growth Compass
From Organizational Foundation to ICR
ICR connects the essential layers of the organization into one integrated foundation and translates the team's assessment of that foundation into one organizational score.
Why Every Organization Should Use ICR as a Critical Success Factor
ICR 1
ICR 1 = Exceptional Organizational Quality
Predictive value
With an ICR 1, the likelihood of sustainable growth and success is very high.
Contribution of performance to realizing ambition
Overall performance is expected to contribute optimally to translating ambition into results. There is likely only limited remaining improvement potential within the organization itself. At the same time, maintaining this level requires continuous focus and discipline.
Overall vulnerability of the organization
An ICR 1 indicates an organization that is approaching an optimal state of control and effectiveness, resulting in a low level of vulnerability within its sphere of influence. Unnecessary loss of value is likely minimized, and the likelihood of unexpected setbacks is significantly reduced.
Application of ICR growth principles
The organization is likely to demonstrate:
Risk
The risk that the process from ambition to results will not be successful is minimized.

Why ICR exists.
Predictability is designed.
Why ICR exists.
Predictability is designed.
Sustainable performance should not depend primarily on individual leaders, fragmented initiatives or organizational memory. ICR provides the organizational architecture to connect ambition, business model, strategy and execution as one integrated system.
This creates the context in which:- - ambition is translated into action
- - alignment becomes embedded in the organization
- - ownership becomes visible
- - continuous improvement becomes part of how the organization operates
- - calm increasingly replaces unnecessary organizational pressure
