Meaning of the ICR scores

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.

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 manageable and controlled growth, with the goal of a healthy organization and sustainable success.
  • We do this through the all-encompassing ICR cycle as included in the ICR online business software.
