Does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:NORG. The only reference is to the organization's own website. Searching turns up very little. MB 19:21, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
- Weak keep. Good Housekeeping seems to take their customer service ratings seriously. And ICS CEO Jo Coulson gets quoted, a lot. And there's no shortage of Google Books hits for marketing and marketing analysis books that name-drop the ICS. It's all relatively weak tea, without a lot of substance about the organization itself. But I think there's enough to at least cobble a stubby article together. They do seem to be recognized as a major benchmarking organization for customer service data.

- delete unless evidence of SIGNIFICANT COVERAGE is offered up in the article sources. As others have pointed out, it's a respected source. It's mentioned in the Dummies, and mentioned in a MacMillan published book such as https://books.google.com/books?id=ozsdBQAAQBAJ&dq=%22institute+of+customer+service%2 However, not every respectable business pass the notability criteria for inclusion into Wikipedia.
