Organisations can create advanced category management and strategic sourcing processes, but these on their own cannot create full PSCM competence. To achieve this those managing these advanced processes and systems must also have the technical and behavioural skills to manage the required activities and tasks professionally.


IIAPS offers a range of services to assess and develop the competence of individuals.
