ISM Enhances Regional Impact in Latin America With New Supply Chain Training and Certification Opportunities

To meet the growing demands of the global supply chain management community, the Institute for Supply Management® (ISM®) will expand its offerings in Mexico and Latin America starting in September 2024. This expansion will include supply chain skill-building courses, ISM certification preparation programs, and executive-level events. ISM’s presence in Mexico and other Latin American cities will provide services in both English and Spanish, strengthening its existing network and 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.”

Beginning in September 2024, ISM will offer skill-building courses on topics such as negotiation and financial analysis. Certification-oriented courses will be available live in Mexico City starting in January 2025. Additionally, an exclusive executive conference is scheduled to take place 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 aiming to create local and regional impact, partnering with Supplynity will allow ISM to advance its mission of elevating the supply chain management profession in a key region. Additional details about this collaboration will be shared and made available in August.
