When supply chain professionals need advice or certification, they look to the Institute for Supply Management® (ISM®). In the last three years, they’ve needed a lot of advice, and occasionally an organization to lean on. ISM has been there, as it has since 1915, with constant innovation to keep the industry looking to the future.
PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATIONS
The first and largest nonprofit professional supply management organization in the world offers supply chain professionals three certificate programs: Associate Professional in Supply Management™ (APSM™) for active ISM student members; CPSM®, the gold standard for supply management professionals; and Certified Professional in Supplier Diversity® (CPSD™).
“I’m proud of that because along with our principles of sustainability that we created years ago with practitioners and this certification, these things were important to ISM from the get-go. It’s part of who we are,” Susan Marty, ISM’s chief product officer, told BOSS. “It’s been part of our mission statement and I think part of the reason we believe in talent and supplier diversity is because we understand that the positive economic impact of having diverse suppliers is huge.”
