What Makes This Program Different?

Using the four cornerstones of business as a backdrop and relying on real-world success stories, this program presents new trends, fresh ideas, and practical solutions to directly impact your organization's success. Every organization has four distinct supply chains (or networks) that drive business: financial, informational, relational, and physical. Only when the four networks are working in harmony can the organization develop a winning strategy. And only when supply management professionals are actively involved in processes and development can your organization realize its full potential.

Better Performance for Your Enterprise

Supply management in its purest form delivers even better performance for your enterprise. With a focus on bottomline results, no other arena has the same direct impact on the well-being of the organization. ISM recognizes that effective supply management professionals have the responsibility to deliver value to all facets of the network and presents this conference in support of that model. This conference focuses on lessons learned and real-world successes with new perspectives and proven strategies to give your organization a competitive edge. Best practices and success stories cover a variety of industries including manufacturing, educational providers, retail, financial management, technology, and non-manufacturing services. Our workshop speakers represent decades of experience and dedication to a successful supply management framework.

Who Should Attend?

Supply management professionals who realize the value-add when the organization is working in concert. Managers with a desire to improve effectiveness and communicate value. Supply managers, purchasing managers, and directors, as well as purchasing agents, negotiators, contract managers, buyers, and financial managers dedicated to strengthening the bottomline. Members of cross-functional teams outside the traditional boundaries of supply management will find this program beneficial. Participants should have an eye on the future and a commitment to all stakeholders to achieve better results.

Earn up to 11.75 Continuing Education Hours (CEHs) for your participation. Fourteen sessions to choose from.
