The Sourcing Procurement Organization

The Sourcing Procurement Organization (SPO) is a non-profit organization based in Houston, Texas. SPO is a relatively small organization with 3 employees. SPO is focused on transforming supply chain management (SCM) education and training. They achieve this through industry-based, experiential learning programs for SCM students and junior executives. Their Educational Enrichment Program (EEP) and Executive Training Program (ETP) aim to equip participants with practical skills and knowledge for career success in SCM. SPO believes that traditional educational methods, which rely heavily on rote memorization, are insufficient for teaching complex technical fields like SCM. They advocate for experiential learning, believing that "doing" is a more effective way to understand and retain information.
