What kind of leader does procurement need today, and how deliberately are managers in the field developing that leadership? The "Transformation, Leadership & Strategy" course at the heart of the EIPM "Certified Manager in Procurement" programme invites participants to define their personal leadership approach: their vision, their intended legacy, and the way they create conditions for their teams to grow. This is not a generic leadership curriculum, it is designed specifically for the complexity of leading procurement organisations through change, strategic ambiguity and competing demands from the business. 📍 EIPM Certification Programme – Certified Manager in Procurement - Full programme and registration: https://lnkd.in/dmqFtgjy #ProcurementLeadership #Leadership #Transformation #EIPM #CPO

In this third episode of Innovation Room, our podcast Meo'Talk, we welcome Velina Tchakarova, Geopolitical Consulting & Strategic Foresight expert and founder of FACE (For A Conscious Experience). A discussion hosted by Hervé Legenvre, recorded in Switzerland on the sidelines of the EIPM CPO Roundtable, on why reading the news is no longer enough, and how Procurement and Supply Chain leaders can build a real "geopolitical muscle" inside their teams. What does it actually mean to train for uncertainty, rather than try to forecast it? Why is scenario planning becoming as essential a discipline as compliance or ESG once were? 🎧 Listen here on all streaming platforms: https://lnkd.in/e_5k6ce6 🎥 Watch on our YouTube channel: https://lnkd.in/ejEWPWFc
