Where Does Ambition Begin?
Ultimate Stakeholder's Ambition
An organization is not an end in itself. It is a means through which its ultimate stakeholders seek to realize an Ambition.
Explore what that means for entrepreneurs, business unit leaders, nonprofit organizations, government, supervisory boards and advisors.
Predictability is Designed.
I learned that when people want to achieve something that matters to them, they want their performance and results to be as predictable as possible. Predictable performance and results require clarity. Clarity gives leaders and team members confidence — in the direction, in one another and in how the organization works. From that confidence comes peace of mind.
But what must be clear first? Who the organization exists for and what future it should make possible for them. That starts with identifying its ultimate stakeholders. These may be an entrepreneur or family owner, the owners or shareholders of a corporate group, or the people a public or nonprofit organization ultimately exists to serve.
The organization is the means; their Ambition — looking more than ten years ahead — provides the shared reference point for assessing whether the business model, organizational choices and daily execution bring the desired future closer. Making that future explicit helps prevent today’s possibilities and limitations from defining what they seek to achieve. That Ambition gives direction to the business model, the organization you build and the steps you take. ICR helps you connect that direction to daily execution.
I developed the ICR Organizational Operating System as a shared framework that makes visible how your organization is structured, how its parts connect and how effectively they work together. You and your team make the choices. ICR helps you make them explicit and connect them to execution.
The ICR Growth & Success SaaS Platform helps you put that framework into daily practice by connecting goals, responsibilities, risks, actions and progress. For entrepreneurs and organizational leaders — across SMEs, business units of multinationals, nonprofit organizations and government.
