Hey Fish - studied sclm in undergrad, have been at Deloitte for 2 years now, recently promoted to Consultant, and have been stuck on the same GPS project I was hired into (nothing related to sclm).
Planning to jump on a supply chain project within the next few months. I am interested in strategic sourcing but am open minded and willing to learn. Any advice on what technologies should I be learning in my free time? Also does Deloitte sponsor APICS certifications?

Strategic sourcing is super repetitive I’d try to build skills in a different facet of supply chain.

But don’t get me wrong D1, strategic sourcing is a valuable skill to have. Working in strategic sourcing made me a great analyst. Youll build skills in both analytics and soft skills with all the negotiation prep and bidder management that comes with it. But it’s also something people get pigeon holed in and once you’ve done a few strategic sourcing initiatives, you’ve done em all. Much more interesting things out there if pursuing a career in supply chain IMO.

Make the jump! There are opportunities staffing all the time. They're actually opening applications for CSCP as we speak. In terms of tech, for procurement I know SAP Ariba, Coupa, and Appian are all ones we use with clients. Feel free to DM me to talk further

Perfect thanks - sending you a DM
