“I wanted a platform that allowed them to do the work within their own time frames, and a program that would create a bedrock of strategic sourcing knowledge across the organization. Within the Certified Sourcing Professional program, they touch on finance, on accounting and on risk. It helps students see how procurement fits into the business’ overall ecosystem. That kind of insight is so valuable. It enables you to understand how what you’re doing correlates with what the rest of the organization is doing. I think it’s really important to build a culture of learning. If someone had offered SIG University to me when I was just starting my career, I would have become a CPO 10 years earlier than I did.”
