What is SME Governance?

SME Governance involves steering and controlling to achieve long-term value creation within companies. This encompasses the structures, processes, and rules that ensure effective management and accountability to stakeholders, including owners, management, employees, and sometimes external parties. It also includes setting goals, defining roles and responsibilities, and ensuring transparency and integrity in decision-making processes.

Governance in Practice

  • Until recently, a governance model specifically for SMEs was lacking.
  • Existing frameworks were primarily designed for larger, publicly traded organizations.
  • As a result, many entrepreneurs are not familiar with the methodologies and tools necessary for steering and controlling long-term value creation.
  • At ICR, we emphasize having a firm grip on achieving your entrepreneurial ambitions.
  • You will therefore find a clear step-by-step plan in the ICR online business software, representing the first true SME governance model.
"Within the ICR Organizational Operating System, the three critical dimensions of control and governance—goal-oriented focus, risk-oriented focus, and quality-oriented focus—are fully integrated. This unique synergy within the ICR Framework forms the solid foundation for a healthy organization and sustainable success."
"Good governance is not only about achieving strategic ambitions, but also about safeguarding the conditions that allow organizations to continue creating value."
