Reference Overview

A unique business model

For us, our name ICG Integrated Consulting Group means to live a special, integrated business model. More than 30 experienced consultants are shareholder of the European-wide ICG group. The shareholder of the business units have entrepreneurial autonomy and are connected by common values, holacracy-like rules, common project work as well as professional learning and development processes.

It is our vision to form a European change consultancy group based on our unique business model that serves as a real alternative to the big mainstream consultants for regional and global organizations: “With high impact and more value for money”. Furthermore, ICG aims to be a role model for sustainable, agile and responsive organizations.
