The ICR Growth Compass is designed to show organizations to what extent they are on track to realize their purpose (the long-term ambition of the organization). It provides a clear and measurable route from ambition to results, regardless of sector or type of organization.
The ICR (= InControlRating) functions as a measurable and predictive indicator of the extent to which an organization is in control of its structure, governance, and execution. It provides insight into how effectively leadership, teams, processes, and behavior contribute to consistent performance, sustainable results, and continuity.
In doing so, ICR makes visible to what extent an organization is capable of translating ambition into predictable outcomes and a healthy balance between people and results. It therefore serves as a powerful reference point to determine where an organization stands and what is required to improve in a focused way.
The ICR approach uses this rating to make the level of control within an organization transparent. The score reflects how effectively an organization is in control of realizing its ambition. In doing so, it demonstrates the effectiveness of control measures and the organization’s ability to effectively manage the key aspects of its operations.
As part of the ICR cycle, organizations identify risks, ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations, improve operational efficiency, and strengthen their ability to achieve strategic objectives. This enables leadership and management teams to make well-informed decisions, continuously monitor performance, and adjust where necessary.
ICR thereby contributes to strengthening the resilience and sustainability of organizations in an ever-changing environment.
ICR as a critical success factor
The strength of ICR lies in its translation into one single, uniform steering indicator. This rating provides immediate insight into the current state of the organization, as well as where risks and growth potential are embedded. Within ICR, growth represents progress — both in becoming better and in becoming bigger.
Through ICR, the process from ambition to results is managed in a structured and professional manner. The methodology is built on five growth circles, eighteen responsibility areas, and thirty-three concrete ICR objectives that, in their interconnection, guide daily practice.
Within this structure, organizations make explicit how they shape their structure, governance, and execution. The higher the score per objective, the stronger the contribution to the overall ICR and, consequently, to the ability to successfully realize ambition.
The ICR score ranges from 5 to 1, where a score of 1 represents an organization approaching an optimal state of control and effectiveness, with minimal remaining growth potential. A score of 5 indicates a situation where significant improvement potential still exists and where performance contributes only limitedly to achieving ambition.
Based on all underlying input, ICR provides predictive insight into the effectiveness of the management approach, expected performance, and the extent to which an organization is capable of realizing its ambition in a sustainable and predictable way.
