SUSTAINABILITY
essentially a peer group. You're far more likely to embed something you've heard from a peer rather than someone with an agenda. That's the principle. "So we break out over 500 people into groups of five and allow people to meet each other, understand what their challenges are and bounce off each other. We try to create opportunities for those unusual collaborations and get people from all over the world. Almost 150 different countries were in the last meeting, which is extraordinary."
"Ultimately, we're a not for profit. So we are absolutely guided by the individuals. Our model is to gain grant funding. So we don't lean one particular way or another. We are driven by what the professionals want us to do. And I think that's important and unique." If you haven't yet taken The SPP Pledge, perhaps it's time you do so. The next meeting is scheduled to be held on July 7th and will be tackling the challenge of circular thinking. Now an official non-profit, SPP is looking for funding. If you've got the coin, and a heart, give them a call. procurementmag.com
