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.

ICBE Annual Conference 2013 | Strategies for Growth & Transformation3
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.
