Testimonials
The Certified Strategic Procurement Professional program has broadened my view on how the same issues are resolved in unique ways in other industries. There was some takeaways from every class - from understanding the strategic challenges to building resilience.
This program puts procurement management in the right framework. It helps you understand the procurement ecosystem and identify the value enablers, going beyond cost control. The case methodology enriched the learning experience.
CSPP is a very well structured program. I particularly liked the cases studies and the interactions between the faculty and all the participants. The professors were excellent and covered a large variety of topics and shared useful insights to efficiently manage procurement.
