Following our major world-wide Dupont, Unilever and Colgate Palmolive Europe contracts, others major multinational firms such as Carbone Lorraine, Legrand, Pirelli and Thales have already inquired for our educational and training services. Altogether these firms share a common principle: The willingness to change and use training to support their companies’ strategy, organization and practices for cost-effectiveness purposes.

Due to its several years of experience, the EIPM understands that besides the improvement of individual skills, purchasing needs to sell the necessity to change internally and externally. To do so, the EIPM recognizes that adapted profiles with adapted skills are necessary for different positions. This is the reason why the EIPM has developed its own assessment methodology to differentiate different levels of purchasing and supply management expertise: The EIPM Reference Model. Welcome on board!

THE EXECUTIVE MBA for high potentials^{click here}

June 25^th was the 13^th MBA graduation ceremony. The new graduates join their over 150 predecessors, representing at least 21 nationalities, to take up the many challenges that the ever-developing purchasing profession has to offer.

They chose the EIPM Executive MBA by virtue of the principles and values with which it was created. In 1991, a few major multinational firms joined forces to pioneer in the making of an MBA specialized in purchasing at a time when this occupation remained a transactional rather than a strategic function. This is how the EIPM became the first European institution to offer an Executive MBA specialized in Purchasing & Supply Chain Management.

Not only our MBA possess a general management core, but the added feature of cost-effectiveness strategy –the heart that keeps a business running arterial profits. This is why more and more the EIPM MBA becomes the benchmark for the profession. It creates high-caliber profiles by providing an exceptional education that leads graduates to perform better and beyond their original expectations.

Measurement has been and still is quite relevant to purchasing. This is why the EIPM expands knowledge on this topic through its Annual Conference. For two days, participants will join a dynamic dialogue in which not only pricing know-how will be addressed but also the Purchasing Performance Measurement in terms of processes and competencies. These topics will be analyzed through three different standpoints: Academics, consultants and professionals.

Registrations for the 9th Annual Conference are open. More than 30 companies have already registered, for instance, NOVARTIS PHARMA, VALEO, SNECMA, UNILEVER, HONEYWELL…
