What our Members say

"ICBE is a really good example where leaders get into a room and we talk about our challenges and how we can share and learn from each other. It’s a very open forum … we don’t see ourselves as competitors…we are looking at how we collaborate for the benefit of all."

Richard McKeogh

Operations Director, Plant Manager at Stryker Ireland

"Thanks to the team at ICBE who over the years have built an amazing network, demonstrating a spirit of collaboration and support that lifts all members."

Deirdre Cooney

Leader Operational Excellence, Amgen

“Building on real best practices and being inspired by the journeys of others has been truly valuable”

Kieran Noonan

Global Business Operations & Business Excellence - Abbott

"The best practice visits are vital for us. Going to see what other companies are doing – using other companies benchmarks so we can bring back tools or systems that they are using. Also, the Call for Support is brilliant."

Claire O’Mahony

CI Manager, Carbery

"ICBE is different from other networking organisations - the personal approach is very important. They are responsive and agile, as they are not too big... they are aligned with where we are currently."
