About ICBE The Irish Centre for Business Excellence (ICBE) is an Irish based, not for profit, cross sector business-excellence/knowledge-sharing network of organisations. The network provides a platform for companies to share knowledge and best practice across all business functions - all activities organised by the centre are a direct response to member needs.

We link companies with their counterpart in other companies in

or outside their sector, enabling companies to interact with like-

minded business professionals and practitioners. We organise

networking forums around topics of interest directly relayed

from member companies and provide expert speakers where

necessary, drawing on the expertise of thought leaders from

industry and academia.

ICBE partners with world class trainers, offering best in class

learning, education and development programmes to improve

performance of our members. We provide tailored, cost effective,

quality learning solutions at substantially reduced costs - often

by as much as of 30%. Indeed, many member companies have

recovered their annual membership fee in a matter of a few

months.

We organise best practice/benchmarking visits to companies

in Ireland and abroad who demonstrate excellence in a variety

of processes and business functions. We have set up several

regionally based ICBE forums and organise meetings on topics of

interest to members and provide networking opportunities.

Our call for support process helps member companies access

knowledge, information and solutions quickly across all business

functions, thus helping them solve problems, reduce costs and

save valuable time.

We organise highly effective and interactive conferences and

symposiums on topics of interest to our members both at

regional and national level We invite internationally recognised

experts to speak at events and to visit member companies to

address senior managers on topics such as Innovation, Lean, HRM,

Learning, Education & Development and Business Transformation.

The Team at ICBE


Annual Conference


Following from the success of last year’s conference held at

the Aviva Stadium the typical delegate that attends the ICBE

conference is middle to senior management and CEO’s. These

are the key decision makers within companies that can actively

promote change within their organisation. Our delegates are

cross sectoral therefore allowing individuals to review and

learn from other sectoral approaches to growth within their

organisation.

To ensure we consistently attract the right audience we provide

our conference topic and speakers based on member’s needs

and requests. We are proud of our success to date and aim to

consistently provide the best experience for our delegates.

Based on feedback from our previous conferences we are

providing the quality, learning and networking opportunities our

delegates require.
