The ICR Growth Compass is the assessment instrument within the ICR Organizational Operating System that helps organizations evaluate their current situation across the interconnected ICR Objectives.
It makes strengths, uncertainties, differences in perception, dependencies and areas requiring attention visible. This gives leaders and teams a shared basis for determining priorities and deciding where improvement may be valuable.
The Growth Compass does not prescribe which area must be addressed first. It makes the complete organizational landscape visible, while users determine where attention is needed, in which order and with what intensity.
How does the ICR Growth Compass work?
The ICR Growth Compass supports the assessment of the thirty-three ICR Objectives across five Growth Circles and eighteen responsibility areas.
Assessments combine a score with an indication of the likelihood that the assessment reflects the organization’s actual situation. This helps distinguish between an assessment supported by confidence and one involving greater uncertainty.
The Growth Compass also helps make differences between team members visible. These differences are not necessarily problems. They can reveal missing information, unspoken assumptions or different experiences and provide a valuable starting point for conversation.
What is the relationship with the InControlRating?
The ICR Growth Compass is the assessment instrument. The InControlRating is the integrated steering indicator produced from the underlying assessments.
The rating provides an overall picture, while the Growth Compass retains the detail needed to understand what lies behind that picture. The underlying assessments therefore remain essential when interpreting the InControlRating and determining priorities.
How is the ICR Growth Compass used?
Organizations can use the Growth Compass to establish a baseline, discuss their current situation, determine priorities and monitor development over time.
Repeated assessments help teams evaluate what has changed, where progress has been made and where assumptions or actions may need to be reconsidered. The Growth Compass thereby supports a continuous rhythm of assessment, dialogue, action and improvement.
