Why consider the CPSM® Bridge Exam?
In an excerpt from ISM’s publication, Supply Line 2055: Certification Update, February 2008, Volume 22:
“At the beginning of a new year, many of us take time to step back and evaluate every aspect of our lives. It is a great time to assess your career and plan your professional goals.
- Is your education, experience and level of certification sufficient to meet the needs of your organization?
- Would you be competitive against other employment candidates if you needed to find a new employer? In a new industry?
- If your responsibilities expand, are you knowledgeable in all the components of supply management?
- Do you have what it takes to positively impact your supply chain?
- Do you Dare to Lead the supply management profession?
During unstable economic times, companies depend on experienced supply management professionals like you for innovative answers to hard-hitting business challenges. Executive management will come to supply professionals to make an impact on the bottom line more than ever before. (emphasis added)
As the responsibilities of supply management professionals have grown, so has the need to prepare for the higher levels of responsibility. In support of the mission to lead supply management, ISM has created the Certified Professional in Supply Management (CPSM) to ensure that you are ready for the transformation to supply management. Dare to Lead supply management by setting yourself apart from the competition.” (“2008 – The Year of the CPSM”)
