What’s changing is not the rigor or substance of the education, but the scale at which it can be shared, reflecting the Krach Institute’s commitment to practitioner-driven, real-world learning developed in close collaboration with Purdue University.
Technology is rewriting the rules of global commerce, national security, and supply chain resilience. Are you ready to lead?
In today’s tech-driven world, sourcing and procurement professionals face more than cost and compliance – navigating global power dynamics, emerging technologies, and national security risks.
That’s why SIG University has partnered with the Krach Institute for Tech Diplomacy at Purdue to offer members access to the Tech Diplomacy Academy: 20+ online, self-paced, one-hour courses on emerging technologies for non-technical professionals – with certificate.
The TDA curriculum and certifications deepen and extend your Supplier Management Certification by equipping you to understand how emerging technologies, national security concerns, and global policy shifts are reshaping supply chains. With TDA, you’ll move beyond traditional supplier evaluation to mastering the strategic forces that will define future vendor relationships, risk profiles, and sourcing decisions.
Why TDA Matters to SIG Members:
If you’re in sourcing or tech, you’re on the front lines of global economic competition. These one-hour courses, led by Purdue University faculty, with SMEs from the worlds of business and policy, equip you to lead with knowledge, not just process.
What You Get:
TDA is widely used by leaders of the U.S. State Department, Department of Commerce, NATO, AWS, Deloitte, and others. Now it’s available to you for free – for a limited time.
