Why Get The CPPO? For ascending management, there is no substitute.

Why Pursue the CPPO and CPPB? Barbara Grilli says without them, she never would have been considered for her current position.

"I interview people for department new hires or promotions. I see people that have 10 years of procurement experience that have no idea how public procurement works. They just know how to do the assigned tasks they’ve had for the last 10 years. Conversely, I have never seen someone who has a CPPB or CPPO who does not understand public procurement. "
