The number and quality of applications received by ISM (Institute for Supply Management) for the inaugural R. Gene Richter Awards for Leadership and Innovation in Supply Management was impressive.
It is clear that the supply profession continues to grow in importance and sophistication, thereby making contributions to the overall success of the organization.
Because of the critical role of supply management, businesses survive and thrive only when each supply chain is carefully and creatively managed. Foremost in the profession are individuals and organizations that embrace leadership and creativity to manage complexity and risk.
This second annual announcement and call for entries will build on the strong showing of the first year and provide examples of innovation and leadership that can be used throughout the profession to enhance performance, reduce expenses, increase profit and ensure increased revenue.
A group of well-known supply management executives and academics set policy and direction for the awards with a vision to "create a prestigious supply management awards program to recognize leadership and innovation in supply management and further the understanding and importance of supply management to business success."
The awards program is designed to:
Identify and share leadership and innovation in supply management practice within supply management departments
Provide recognition to supply management departments receiving awards.
