SHEILA BROWNING M.B.A. B.Sc. M.Inst.D.

We help you create a learning, adaptive organisation which can meet the needs of ever more demanding customers and compete effectively in the fast changing global market place.

International competition and technological change are sweeping away organisations too slow to respond. We recognise that success today depends upon a high degree of market orientation, robust and reliable processes, flexibility, and a high quality and effective workforce. The foundation for creating a successful, sustainable future is having a clear understanding of what the customers need, both now and in the future.

Icaem Insight has worked in Europe and the USA since 1988 with multinationals, SMEs and professional partnerships helping them to develop their strategies and increase their competitive advantage. Working with the Top Team, we then help them to deploy and implement these strategies, enabling them to improve performance and sustain growth.

We have a strategic alliance in place with The Allison Group of New York, collaborating on projects that lead the way in applying the theories coming from complexity science and chaos theory to develop competitive advantage and profitability. These include Dynamic Decision Modeling and Real Time Feedback projects with organisations as diverse as Hewlett Packard and the US Marines.

The organisational development model Icaem uses is based on Peter Senge's vision of creating a “Learning Organisation” that can adapt and shape itself to meet the demands of the market place through the disciplines of building shared vision, understanding mental models of self and others, being open to team and individual learning, and understanding the systems loops that create and perpetuate the culture of the organisation – how it does what it does.

Prior to 1989, Managing Director Sheila Browning held management roles in a variety of blue chip companies, including 8 years with Hewlett Packard. This enables her to bring added value to her clients. She also has experience of the issues faced by entrepreneurs, having set up and run SMEs of her own. Sheila is a member of The International Society for Professional Innovation Management and is Coordinator of the Scottish fractal of the Society of Organisational Learning (see www.solonline.org).

She is also a professional engineer, a licensed NLP Practitioner, and is accredited to carry out Insights Discovery Personal and Team Development psychometric profiling.
