Recently, David Bush gave a quick review of the SPSM Certification on eSourcing Forum and publicly invited me to share the story behind the success of the SPSM Certification.

Of course, I obliged.

So, yesterday, David posted my informal story of the rise of the SPSM Certification. Check it out. I think that it is an interesting look “behind the scenes” of developing a new standard for excellence in purchasing and supply management.

If you have comments, I welcome you to return to post them here.
