What is the ICCS®?

The Intelligent Career Card Sort® (ICCS®) is a distinctive career exploration exercise designed for the emerging knowledge-driven economy.  Using a multi-dimensional card sort exercise, ICCS® consultants guide individuals through an in-depth investigation of three “ways of knowing” concerned with why, how and through whom we work.  Exploring these ways of knowing and the interdependence among them allows ICCS® clients to make more effective career investments, leading to more satisfying and productive relationships with present or future employers. 

Developed by an international team of specialists in both career theory and career consulting, the ICCS® is applicable to everyone who participates in today’s fast-paced world of work.  It is designed to help any worker claim greater ownership of his or her career and its direction, and to provide a platform for both incremental career steps and more ground-breaking career transitions. 

Only licensed consultants who have been trained to help people engage in the kind of career exploration that the ICCS® generates administer the ICCS®.   Licensed ICCS® consultants are members of the global ICCS® community, with access to the full ICCS® data base, newsletters, bulletin boards, and further support from the developers.  The ICCS® may be experienced one-on-one or in a workshop group. 

The ICCS® is available in English, Danish, French, German and Japanese.  Additional languages will be added soon.  In addition to supporting individual clients, each language may also be used in conjunction with the full ICCS® database, facilitating international comparisons among people doing the same kind of work, or among members of the same multinational company.
