Event Description

This event will focus on two main areas: competence issues in purchasing & supply management and the IIAPS Black Belt Qualification (which has been assessed as “Mini-MBA” in supply).

High-level speakers such as the CPO of IBM will give insight into their approaches of people development and will also discuss with the audience the challenges (and potential solutions) in this area. Furthermore Prof. Dr. Andrew Cox will introduce the IIAPS itself, its mission and its approach of people development. In the early afternoon decision makers from the procurement, supply, and HR area will give an insight into their approaches of competence development. The speakers from IBM, Henkel, ThyssenKrupp and PwC will furthermore discuss together with the audience competence issues such as sustainable people development and retention initiatives.

In the second part of the conference IIAPS itself will be introduced focusing especially on the institute´s

Black Belt Qualification Program in Procurement & Supply Management. According to experts from Procurement and HR this belt qualification program can be seen almost as a “Mini-MBA” in Procurement. Due to the various stages of qualification (Green Belt – Red Belt – Black Belt) and the innovative learning style (“proof of competence”) the IIAPS Belt program is able to cover at least two strategic HR areas: sustainable people development in combination with people retention.

The last part of the summit will be an informal networking event where the speakers, the audience, and the IIAPS representatives will have the chance to continue the discussion while enjoying wine and canapés.
