SCPMI COMMUNITY
Where the profession actually talks.
A community for people who work in procurement and supply chain, organized by the industry you work in and the discipline you practice.
WHY SCPMI COMMUNITY
Certifications prove capability. Communities create it.
Most of what a professional learns in this field comes from other professionals. From someone who has already solved the problem. From a colleague who can explain why the obvious answer does not work in practice. From a supplier relationship that went wrong and taught something no course covers.
That knowledge exists in abundance. It has nowhere to go.
SCPMI built the community first, before the certifications, because that is the order it matters in.
HOW IT IS ORGANIZED
Two ways to find your people.
The Industry
A community for each sector we serve. What matters in pharmaceutical procurement is not what matters in aviation, so they do not share a room.
Explore Industry CommunitiesThe Discipline
These run across sectors. If you work in supplier risk, you are in with everyone else who does, whatever industry they happen to be in.
Explore Specialization CommunitiesMost members use both. Join as many as you want.
Later, your own. Members will be able to start communities of their own: a local group, a working group on a single problem, whatever people want to organize around.
CROSS-INDUSTRY LEARNING
Organized by industry. Not siloed by it.
Sector knowledge is what makes advice useful. It is also how a profession stops learning from itself.
Specialization communities cut across every sector on purpose. The retailer solving a forecasting problem and the hospital solving the same one rarely meet. They should.

HOW IT IS RUN
Why the answers are worth reading.
Your own name
Everyone posts under their own name. There are no anonymous accounts, so people stand behind what they write and take care over it.
Professionals, not pitches
Solution providers and consultants are welcome as professionals, and many are practitioners themselves. What is not welcome is using the community as a sales channel. A thread that turns into a pitch is removed.
People decide
Tools flag what needs a look. A person reads it before anything happens to an account, and any decision can be appealed.
