ISM CPSM® AND CSM™ REVIEW COURSES:
The CPSM® qualification emphasizes major segments of the supply management profession. Holders of the qualification attain a greater understanding of their organization's supply network and have the skills to make more accurate and profitable decisions. By encouraging the entire team to pass the CPSM® exams, an employer ensures the supply management team masters the same common body of knowledge and is performing from a consistent foundation. Employers know that those that have the certification have key knowledge and skills in areas such as finance, supplier relationship management, organization global strategy and risk compliance and that they are a leader in the supply chain management profession.
The CPSM® qualification indicates the holder of the qualification has mastered the supply management body of knowledge. Each step in the development of an organization's products and/or services is controlled by supply management. Current evolution of the profession dictates that a strategic level qualification is needed for professionals to effectively implement innovative supply strategies throughout their entire organization. The CPSM® is also milestone for those professionals who take ownership of their careers.A recent survey by Forrester/CAPS Research indicates that Supply Management Employment is increasing amongst the 200+ companies surveyed, and strategic employees are being hired faster than operational employees. However these companies site that one of the key problems is finding qualified, well trained resources. What better way to improve your employment attractiveness than to join ISM, improve your strategic thinking, and have fun while learning!
