Procurement to me is the most boring area of Supply Chain. I am still in Supply Chain but stay away from Sourcing and Procurement.

Not OP, but I really enjoy the planning space. Currently working alongside a supply planning system implementation, but helping define the processes that need to be in place as they go from de-centralized to centralized planning

Hello! I noticed some similar questions to the one I am about to ask and I apologize if I am being repetitive but I didn’t see this specifically (I am new so sorry if I am missing it). I am a RN and have been for 15 years. I was looking to transition into health tech but has been a bit more challenging than I expected. So, I have been working on trying to get in as a SDR but I am also taking a course for my PMP certification. Is this of value or should I focus on something else?
