Supply management teams need to apply the same strategic approaches and discipline to their professional development as they do to the purchasing categories they manage. Unfortunately, many companies approach professional development as an ad hoc string of training courses. Employees may learn new skills, but without support, it is difficult to put these new skills to use.
A better approach is targeting employee needs and providing a professional development program where learning experiences are put to use by providing long-term mentoring, coaching and monitoring progress.
Join Bill Michel and other members of the ISM-ADR School for Supply Management to discover why training may be considered an expense, but professional development is an investment with high returns and measurable results. You will learn:
How "Training" and "Professional Development" differ
Elements of a Professional Development Program
The importance of a Personal Development Plan (PDP)
How to embed new skills into the workplace
About measuring your Return on Investment (ROI)
