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 5
ICR 5 = Critical Organizational Quality
Predictive value
With an ICR 5, the likelihood of sustainable growth and success is extremely 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:
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 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
