  • connects ambition, business model, strategy and execution within one integrated organizational framework
  • creates a shared perspective across the organization by bringing different team perspectives together

ICR 5

ICR 5 = Critical Organizational Quality


Predictive value

With an ICR 5, the likelihood of sustainable growth and success is very low.


Contribution of performance to realizing ambition

Overall performance is expected to contribute minimally to translating ambition into results. Fundamental improvements are required to enable the organization to realize its ambition. There is extensive improvement potential within the organization.


Overall vulnerability of the organization

An ICR 5 indicates an organization that is poorly structured, resulting in a very high level of vulnerability. A substantial amount of value is likely lost within its sphere of influence, and the likelihood of unexpected setbacks is very high.


Application of ICR growth principles

The organization is likely to demonstrate:

  • a lack of targeted focus across the organization
  • limited team intuition
  • no structurally embedded culture of continuous improvement
  • insufficient control and financial health
  • a lack of results-driven execution


Risk

The risk that the process from ambition to results will not be successful is hardly mitigated.


Importance in case of ICR 5

If the score on the “This is how we steer the course” objective is below the required threshold, the overall ICR cannot exceed level 5. This reflects the critical importance of targeted focus as a foundation for achieving alignment and control throughout the organization.
