ICR 5

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.

Why did we start with ICR?

  • Entrepreneurs play a crucial role in our economy, constantly taking risks.
  • Unfortunately, this often comes at the expense of their work-life balance, leading to stress and unrest.
  • A major cause of this unrest is the lack of knowledge and skills, which should no longer be an issue today.
  • Our mission is therefore to help entrepreneurs and organizations find balance and peace, through controlled and manageable growth, with the goal of a healthy and sustainably successful organization.
  • We do this through the all-encompassing ICR Cycle as included in the ICR Growth & Success SaaS Platform.
