Did you know that CAPS corporate members can request surveys on topics of importance to their organization? Or that they can suggest research projects for the coming year and be active participants in the ideation? Or that if CAPS members want to explore a specific issue or initiative of importance to the organization, we'll facilitate a benchmarking call with other member companies with experience in the area?
Basically, our members own their membership experience, and if you're unsure where to start or want to talk about specific ways in which we can help you advance your supply management strategy, please reach out. Reply to this email and we'll put you in touch with the best team member to explore the full extent of your membership benefits. And if you're not at one of our CAPS member companies and want to learn more, we'd be happy to hear from you as well.
Quick fact: Procurement Training
63% of participants in a recent survey indicated their company requires and/or encourages supply management certification. Interestingly, 78% of companies in this subset do not measure the contribution of certifications to the organization. The full report is available now in the CAPS Knowledge Central Library.
Complete a survey, get helpful metrics in return
Surveys are for both members and non-members. We love your data, and in exchange, everyone who completes a survey receives a complimentary copy of its metric report. That said, CAPS members get extra love: breakout reports and custom survey opportunities. Email us at metrics@capsresearch.org to participate.
Note: If you are signed-up to receive surveys from CAPS, please add capsresearch@qualtrics-research.com and metrics@capsresearch.org to your safe sender list or visit Microsoft's instructions on adding emails to the inbox-safe list.
