ISM® Expanding Offerings in Mexico and Latin America

TEMPE, Ariz. and MEXICO CITY, Aug. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — To support the growing needs of the global supply chain management community, Institute for Supply Management® (ISM®) will expand its offerings in Mexico and Latin America as of September 2024. This will include providing supply chain skill-building courses, ISM certification preparation programs, and executive-level events. This ISM presence in Mexico and other Latin American cities will be in English and Spanish and builds upon its existing distribution and community in the area.

This movement signals the importance of supply chains in the region and further recognizes the global footprint of ISM’s gold standard certification, CPSM®. The programs in Mexico will be deployed in partnership with Supplynity, an organization that spearheads a CPO LATAM Conference and brings together its executive procurement community in the region.

“The Mexico and Latin American markets are critical for supply chains and are a growing region for supply chain expertise,” said ISM Chief Executive Officer Tom Derry. “This offering is a natural evolution for ISM and addresses a regional need we can support with this collaboration.”

Skill-building courses will begin in September 2024 on topics like negotiation and financial analysis, among others. Certification-oriented courses will begin live in Mexico City as of January 2025. Notably, an exclusive executive conference will occur in Mexico City in November 2024. 

“We are very excited to have a partnership with ISM, which is the most relevant organization related to procurement,” said Gabriel Rosales, Founder of Supplynity. “This will better serve our objectives to share procurement best practices, as well as training and related certification courses with buyers in Latin America.”

As a global association looking to make local and regional impact, leveraging a partner such as Supplynity will enable ISM to further its mission of advancing the supply chain management profession in a significant area. Further collaboration development and details will be shared and available in August.
