Earlier this month, member company CPOs joined us for a new kind of CAPS event - a true roundtable that was quick-paced, metric-driven, and value-focused. It was a hit! We're taking it on tour this summer, so please check out our events section below.
We are also queueing up the release of a handful of new research projects - check out our latest on Measuring and Managing Supplier Innovation, below! If you would, please make sure you're among the first to know by safe-listing our email address and following us on social media (links at the bottom of this email).

New Research: Supplier Innovation
More than 90% of CPOs think it’s important to measure supplier innovation, but only 25% actually have programs in place to do so. Our newest research project, "Measuring and Managing Supplier Innovation," available today to CAPS members, gives supply management executives tools to measure suppliers' historical innovation and future potential, as well as those to effectively capture value from supplier innovation.
