Built by the people who run the assessments.

Ibtikar is a Balanced Excellence product. It started as the spreadsheets, shared folders and emailed Word forms of real preparations, and became the portal that replaced all three.

Who we are

A consulting practice working on excellence and innovation frameworks, and the people behind the IEQDL programme. The portal is the tool we use on our own engagements.

  • Excellence and quality consulting, with innovation maturity as one of its lines of work.
  • The same team behind Istibianat, the stakeholder perception platform used for EFQM Criterion 6.
  • Arabic first, because that is the language most of the evidence is written in.
  • Built and maintained in the open against real assessments, not against a feature list.

What the portal is opinionated about

Three decisions shaped everything else, and they are visible on every screen.

Evidence over narrative

A claim that cannot be attached to a document or a number does not help at assessment.

One place, not five

Evidence links, written answers, decisions, scores and the pack live in one workspace.

The same frame next year

Versions, locked rounds and frozen packs keep this year's numbers meaningful next year.

Where your documents live, and who can open them

The boundaries are enforced in the database, under the account that is asking — not only in the screens.

  • Your documents stay in your own storage — SharePoint, OneDrive or wherever they are kept. Ibtikar keeps only the link, and access is decided there.
  • Files uploaded before links replaced uploads sit in private storage; downloads go through links that expire in minutes and are logged with a name.
  • Every query runs scoped to one organisation, enforced by the database rather than by the page.
  • Contributors reach only their own function's categories; a Function link reaches only the function it was made for.
  • Consultants reach only the clients they are assigned to; internal notes and ratings never cross to the client's side.

Independence

Said plainly, because it matters to anybody buying preparation support.

Ibtikar is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of the Global Innovation Institute, and it awards no certification. It prepares and organises the evidence an assessment asks for. CInOrg®, CGInO®, InMAT and GInMAT are GInI's own names, used here to say what the portal is for.
