Helping Businesses Be the Best They Can Be
Exploring new and better ways of working that will bring improvements in the shortest time.
Learning how a challenge that has kept you awake at night has been solved by others.
And knowing that you’re building a strong company not just for yourself, but as part of your commitment to Ireland’s competitive future.
The key to it all is SHARING. A coming together for the good of not just one, but for all. At the Irish Centre of Business Excellence, our Members know that power is gained by sharing knowledge, not holding on to it. Because knowledge only reaches its true potential when we pass it on – and watch it multiply. Without a doubt, some of the most successful companies in the world are those who share, collaborate and practice free exchange of ideas.
This ‘willingness to work together’ is in the DNA of the ICBE, and has seen us help set, support and share best business practice, skills and knowledge for all our Members within the manufacturing and service industries.
Through events, customised funded training, Benchmarking Visits to exemplary companies and our unique Call for Support process we facilitate continuous improvement, spread innovations and collectively solve problems for the good of all.
In the long history of humankind those who learned to collaborate most effectively have prevailed.

As a networking organisation, our sole focus is on the power of shared knowledge. Our only mandate is to bring business intelligence together, and our Members embrace this spirit of openness and honesty.
Generosity
All of our Members are defined by their generous approach - giving of their expertise, time and knowledge and gaining the same in return.
Absolute Trust
Our ethic of sharing is made possible because of the confidentiality, integrity and trust of all Members, and the network as a whole.
Collaboration
We know that we are always better together - and pass this benefit on to all Members.
By attending the Mentoring Networking Event I have been saved about six months work as I will definitely use a lot of the methodology shared. Thank you for the great information.
