Saturday, August 3, 2024 To address the expanding needs of the global supply chain management community, the Institute for Supply Management® (ISM®) is set to broaden its reach in Mexico and Latin America starting September 2024. This expansion will include a range of offerings such as supply chain skill-building courses, ISM certification prep programs, and executive-level events, available in both English and Spanish. This initiative enhances ISM’s existing presence and community in the region.
The move underscores the growing significance of supply chains in Latin America and highlights the global impact of ISM’s esteemed CPSM® certification. The new programs in Mexico will be launched in collaboration with Supplynity, known for organizing the CPO LATAM Conference and connecting the region’s executive procurement professionals. “The Mexico and Latin American markets are critical for supply chains and are a growing region for supply chain expertise,” said ISM Chief Executive Officer Tom Derry.
“This offering is a natural evolution for ISM and addresses a regional need we can support with this collaboration.” Skill-building courses covering topics such as negotiation and financial analysis will kick off in September 2024. Certification-focused courses will start in Mexico City in January 2025.
Additionally, an exclusive executive conference is set to take place in Mexico City in November 2024. “We are very excited to have a partnership with ISM, which is the most relevant organization related to procurement,” said Gabriel Rosales, Founder of Supplynity. “This will better serve our objectives to share procurement best practices, as well as training and related certification courses with buyers in Latin America.
” As a global association striving to make a local and regional impact, ISM’s partnership with Supplynity will significantly enhance its mission to advance the supply chain management profession. Additional details on the collaboration and its development will be available in August..
