ICM challenges its participants to pursue lifelong development through quality education, enabling them to grow both as professionals and as individuals. To achieve this, ICM offers over 300 courses and Incompany programmes, develops tailored learning solutions for organisations, organises events throughout the year, and shares daily content and inspiration. A sense of purpose was at the core of founders Harrie-Peter and Erik’s vision when they established ICM. Their goal was to create a company that makes a positive impact. This intention remains tangible to this day. At ICM’s office, a message on the stairs reads: ‘What you give, you receive in return.’ This motto reflects the heart of ICM, where people and their interactions with others take centre stage. ICM believes that the secret to happiness lies in being meaningful to others. Its ambition is to inspire and support people in their development, helping them not only achieve their own goals but also have a positive impact on those around them. By growing together, ICM envisions a world where happiness is not solely dependent on individual achievements but is deeply rooted in the contributions we make to others. ICM continually asks itself: how can we make a positive impact on the environment and society?
