On track with the ICR growth compass

ICR is a predictive indicator of success
ICR is a reference point for improvement
Reflects quality of the business plan
The beauty of the ICR is that you can (and actually should)) use it as a critical success factor for your organization. This single number tells you exactly where you stand. The explanation behind this number clarifies where the risks and growth potential lie within your organization. As you know, growth within the ICR framework means progress: both in terms of improvement and expansion.
You aim for an ICR of 1, as it indicates your organization is approaching perfection. The chance of sustainable growth and success is very high. At this level, there is little to no growth potential within the organization itself. Consequently, the organization contributes optimally to turning ambition into successful results.
On the other hand, an ICR of 5 represents the opposite. There is an extreme amount of growth potential within the organization. The chance of sustainable growth and success is extremely small. At this level, the organization's performance contributes little to turning ambition into successful results.
