The full ICH science
From behaviour to legacy.
ICH — Institut des Comportements Humains — is more than an assessment. It is a full framework for measuring, developing, and transmitting human contribution, across three time horizons and four concentric circles of impact.
01 · The three indices
One person. Three time horizons.
Today · The Crystal
ICH®
Indice de Contribution Humaine
What I contribute right now — attitudes, behaviours, habits, immediate impact on the people around me.
Tomorrow · The Baobab
IHH®
Indice d'Héritage Humain
What will remain of me — people I helped grow, procedures I left behind, behaviours others adopted from watching me.
Very long term · The Footprint
EHD®
Empreinte Humaine Durable
What the world becomes because I passed through — culture that outlives its founders, generations that inherit new norms.
Values → Attitudes → Behaviours → Habits → Contribution (ICH) → Influence → Transmission → Legacy (IHH) → Sustainable Footprint (EHD)
02 · Four circles of impact
Me · My team · My organisation · My society.
Me
ICH
Courtesy, punctuality, care.
IHH
I inspire family and colleagues.
My team
ICH
Collaboration, problem-solving.
IHH
Behaviours my teammates adopt naturally.
My organisation
ICH
Performance, customer satisfaction.
IHH
A culture that keeps standing after I leave.
My society
ICH
Respectful citizens, welcoming institutions.
IHH
Benefits that reach future generations.
03 · The transformation cycle
Twelve steps, backed by neuroscience.
Most training stops at « I train → I test → I certify. » That doesn't change behaviour for long. ICH proposes a full twelve-step cycle — awakening, understanding, experimentation, repetition, feedback, improvement, valorisation, impact, transmission, leadership, and legacy.
04 · Five evolution levels
From Executant to Builder.
01
Builder
Transforms organisation, neighbourhood, city, country.
02
ICH Leader
Influences, reassures, develops others, creates trust.
03
Resource Collaborator
Proposes, helps, anticipates, solves. Others come to them.
04
Collaborator
Reliable, respectful, attentive, professional.
05
Executant
Only does what is asked. Waits. Initiates nothing.

06 · Programmes
Where ICH meets real lives.
Première Chance ICH®
Talent deserves its chance. A social programme that removes the material obstacles — professional clothes, coaching, interview kit — so candidates can be judged on their potential.
100 Premiers Jours
The first hundred days at a new job, structured in five phases: discover, build trust, become autonomous, become a resource, prepare the future.
30-Day Ultimate Challenge
Thirty consecutive days of one small act each: responsible initiative, useful proposal, time saved for a colleague, quality check, anticipation of a risk. The path to the ICH Gold Badge.
07 · Certifications
Recognised, not decorative.
Five personal levels + organisational labels. Awarded after multi-source validation (self, manager, peers, clients, mystery shopper) — never on the strength of an assessment alone.
Bronze
Masters one's own behaviours.
Silver
Improves one's team.
Gold
Transforms one's organisation.
Platinum
Influences several organisations.
Diamond
Leaves a lasting legacy — culture that persists after they leave.
Company · Administration · Hospital · Bank · Hotel · School · University

One clear promise
Behaviour is the last
unmeasured resource.
ICH makes it visible — respectfully, transparently, and in your own words. What lives inside this app today is the first stone of a much larger cathedral.
