“Integrity management is often likened to the ‘iceberg theory’. Most people can see and understand the issues that lie in plain sight above the water, but by far the greater element of Integrity risk lies below, unseen, and underestimated.”
IC-Clarity is an integrity assessment process that utilises a validated diagnostic ‘tool kit’ to measure the effectiveness of integrity systems for both individual and multiple assets.
IC-Clarity can be used as a proactive means of ensuring consistent built-in integrity values throughout a project’s life cycle – from design right through to the construction and commissioning phases, and on to the operational and life extension, change of duty and decommissioning phases. IC-Clarity can be used as a proactive tool for measuring, monitoring and improving the integrity of critical assets.
As a result of using IC-Clarity organisations are able to:
- Clearly define leadership’s vision for creating integrity value
- Clarify current integrity values, practices and behaviours
- Develop a benchmark protocol consistent with identified business rules
- Obtain a ‘health-check’ of integrity systems from independent experts
- Establish a clear baseline for current integrity practice
- Set life of asset integrity goals at the project stage
- Assess the perceived expectations of project or asset teams, against ‘on-ground’ realities
- Assess integrity system performance at all levels – from high level management to practical “coal face” execution
- Determine your teams’ perception of current integrity performance and value
- Identify and prioritise integrity system ‘gaps’
- Analyse and develop your future integrity road map
- Identify differences from top performing organisations
 The IC-Clarity process has been adopted as an integrity assessment standard by leading global Oil & Gas operators. It can be used to set benchmark KPIs for projects and measure performance against these KPIs to ensure a process of built-in integrity.
IC-Clarity builds a measurable roadmap for improving or establishing an organisation’s ability to increase integrity measures and practice by identifying the specific gaps underpinning the integrity value an organisation requires or seeks to achieve.
