ICR stands for InControlRating and is the name of the ICR Organizational Operating System.
ICR provides an integrated organizational framework that makes the complete organizational landscape visible and connects the elements that determine how an organization functions and develops.
It starts with the long-term Ambition of the Ultimate Stakeholders. From there, ICR connects the organization’s Business Model, organizational design, Strategy, responsibilities, risks, controls, short-term goals and actions, reporting and continuous improvement.
ICR helps leaders and teams:
ICR does not determine the organization’s substantive choices. Those choices remain the responsibility of the organization and its people. ICR provides the architecture, route and shared reference points that help them make and connect those choices deliberately.
The ICR Organizational Operating System is the complete organizational system.
The InControlRating is the integrated rating within that system. It provides insight into the extent to which the organization has organized itself to realize its Ambition in a coherent, controlled and predictable way.
The ICR Growth Compass supports the assessment of the interconnected ICR Objectives and helps make strengths, uncertainties, dependencies and areas requiring attention visible.
The ICR SaaS Platform is the enabling technology that helps organizations apply ICR, record their choices and assessments, monitor progress and support continuous improvement. The platform supports ICR, but is not ICR itself.
The ICR Framework consists of five Growth Circles, eighteen responsibility areas and thirty-three interconnected ICR Objectives. Together, they cover the organizational landscape from Ambition and Business Model to execution, reporting and continuous improvement.
Making the complete organizational landscape visible does not mean that every part must be addressed at once. Users determine where attention is needed, in which order and with what intensity.
Complete architecture. Your priorities. Your pace.
Predictability does not mean guaranteeing results or predicting the future with certainty. It means creating greater clarity about the factors that influence results, so that the organization can identify deviations earlier, learn continuously and respond more deliberately.
