SUMMARY:ICBE Members only - Join us for a free workshop  Excellence In Process :  Finding Your Excellence Through Process Mapping
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nLocation: Glenroyal Court Hotel\, \nMaynooth\, Co. Kildare\, W23 C2V1 \nDelivered by SA Partners  \n  \nRegister Here\nAcross Ireland\, organisations are working harder than ever to meet rising expectations. Regulation is tightening. Customers want consistency and speed. Digital tools are being introduced quickly\, often onto processes that are not clear or stable enough to support them. Work still gets done\, but it feels heavier than it should. \n  \nThe issue is not effort. It is clarity. When processes drift and standards lose visibility\, people compensate. Hidden work increases. Delays become routine. Improvements struggle to stick. And without a clear picture of how work really flows\, it becomes difficult to automate\, difficult to improve\, and difficult to sustain performance. \n  \nExcellence in process begins when the work becomes visible again. It allows you to see where variation comes from\, where friction builds\, and where opportunity sits. Visibility helps teams design systems that support the work\, not complicate it. Excellence is already in your organisation; it is often hidden behind processes that have blurred over time. Making those processes visible is how that excellence begins to surface. \nThis workshop helps you take that step. \n  \nDelivered by : Ishan Sellahewa \n \n  \nIshan Sellahewa is a Digital Transformation and Operational Excellence leader dedicated to helping organisations leverage technology to streamline processes and drive sustainable improvement. As Head of Digital Transformation at S A Partners\, he specialises in helping organisations combine their use of technology with Lean methodologies and change leadership to effectively execute their strategy. \n  \nWith a background in process management\, automation\, and governance\, Ishan has worked across industries to optimise ways of working and enhance efficiency. Ishan shares practical insights on bridging strategy\, technology\, and execution\, helping organisations navigate digital transformation successfully. \n  \nEvent Highlights: \n\nNetworking & Introductions (10:00 AM – 11:00 AM)Start the day by connecting with like-minded professionals and setting the stage for a collaborative workshop.\nIntroduction to Enterprise Excellence & Process Maturity (11:00 AM – 11:30 AM)Gain valuable insights into the S A Partners’ Enterprise Excellence model and discover why process maturity is key to sustained organisational success.\nProcess Scoping & Mapping Basics (11:30 AM – 12:30 PM)Learn the fundamentals of process scoping and mapping\, and participate in a fun\, group activity to practice mapping a non-work-related process.\nProcess Mapping Deep Dive (1:00 PM – 2:00 PM)Bring your own process into focus! Map one of your current processes\, breaking it down to the task level\, and explore opportunities for improvement.\nPresent & Receive Feedback (2:00 PM – 2:30 PM)Share your process map with the group and receive constructive feedback on how to refine and optimise it.\nNext Steps: Applying What You’ve Learned (2:30 PM – 3:00 PM)Wrap up the day by discussing how to implement these newly acquired skills in your organisation to drive growth and efficiency.\n\n  \nWho Should Attend? \nProfessionals looking to streamline their processes\, improve efficiency\, and gain practical\, actionable insights into process maturity and enterprise excellence. \nDon’t miss out on this opportunity to learn\, share\, and leave with skills you can immediately apply to your business! \n  \nHalf Day Process Mapping Agenda \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Navigating Cyber Risk in Aviation Free Webinar
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nNavigating Cyber Risk in Aviation: Aligning EASA Part-IS and NIS2 through a Risk-Based Approach\nDate: Tuesday April 21st 2026 @12pm (1 hr including Q & A).\n  \nClick here to register for this free webinar.  \n  \nOverview \n Cyber threats are an increasing risk to the aviation industry\, with real-world incidents in Ireland highlighting how quickly operations can be disrupted. In this short\, practical webinar\, Willis Towers Watson will explore recent Irish cybersecurity breach cases\, explain common attack methods\, and share key lessons learned. \nThe aviation sector must comply with the obligations and requirements set out in the EASA Part IS regulation and the NIS2 directive. A common thread across both frameworks is the risk-based approach that organisations are required to adopt. \nThis webinar will analyse the existing gaps and overlaps between the EASA Part-IS Phase 2 and the NIS2 directive.  It will explore how both regulations call for a structured risk-based approach\, covering risk identification\, measurement\, treatment and communication to the board of directors\, regulators and third parties. We will also share practical\, actionable tips on how to align with both regulations when conducting a maturity assessment and a cyber risk management process. For the former\, we will provide insights into the preferred framework prescribed by the NCSC in Ireland (CyFun); for the latter\, we will examine how qualitative and quantitative techniques (inspired by methodologies such as FAIR) can be used to measure and communicate risk results\, enabling informed decisions before authorities and stakeholders. \nLearning points include:\n\nThe key obligations and requirements of EASA Part-IS Phase 2 and the NIS2 directive\, and how they apply to aviation organisations.\nThe gaps and overlaps between both regulations\, and how to navigate them efficiently.\nHow to implement a structured\, risk-based approach that satisfies the requirements of both frameworks.\nHow to conduct a cybersecurity maturity assessment aligned with the CyFun framework\, as prescribed by the National Cyber Security Centre in Ireland.\nHow to apply qualitative and quantitative risk measurement techniques\, including methodologies inspired by FAIR\, to assess and prioritise cyber risks.\nHow to communicate risk results effectively to your board of directors\, regulators\, and third parties.\n\n  \n About the Presenter \nThe webinar will be delivered by Dr. Fernando Sevillano\, Head of Cybersecurity Services for Willis Western Europe. Before joining WTW Willis in 2019\, Fernando held various leadership and senior roles for more than 30 years in the ICT market with a focus on cyber risk\, cybersecurity\, and real-time management in the manufacturing and critical infrastructure sectors. He is a PhD (Computer Science)\, CISSP equivalent\, MD in Enterprise Communication and a BD in Economics and Business Management from the Rey Juan Carlos University. He has also co-authored several books on cyber risk management\, industrial cybersecurity\, and cloud computing. He also actively participates in research with the Rey Juan Carlos University Cyber Security Cluster\, with which he has published around 5 international and 15 national articles. \n  \n \n  \nClick here to register for this free webinar.
