Once I starting going through the posts in this blog - I realized that I actually had the most detailed content for Exam 1 (Foundations of Supply Management) where I had written on each sub-content area. So you'll see 1A-1 and so on. For the content of Exam 2 I have broad coverage of each content area like (2A-) but not the sub content area. That's when I guess I was running short of time! Finally, there are no postings on Exam 3 content.
It's kind of an interesting coincidence that I figured this out on President's day which sets a kind of nice tone to the whole question of leadership.
Given our rather difficult times this content is particularly important for all supply managers - whether or not they are taking the CPSM exam. This portion covers three broad sections Leadership ( From 3-A-1 to 3-A-18), Risk and Compliance (from 3-B-1 to 3-B-8) and Strategic Sourcing (3-C-1 to 3-C-6).
Naturally, these are topics you'll see that the CPO is interested in because the CEO and Board are interested as well. You'll also see lots of seminars/workshops on these topics in the programming of your local ISM affiliate or the national ISM events. Let's get a sense of what the content is of these topics and hope you will be able to connect the concept to your own organization and thereby get your arms around each concept. Once you do this, the exam questions will be fairly easy to deal with....
