A Global Platform for Supply Chain Security & Loss Prevention Professionals
Dedicated to educating, developing and driving value to their members
The International Supply Chain Protection Organization has been extremely successful so far, in their efforts to facilitate communications and bring together the Loss Prevention executives in this highly specialized group on a global scale. With launching their web site just 30 days ago this group has met with an overwhelming response from Supply Chain Loss Prevention executives worldwide. The Daily had the privilege to talk to Glenn Master, Co-founder and Chairman for this organization, about their efforts and about how they plan on supporting the industries they represent and the members they hope to help develop.
Launched in 2012 the ISCPO has been focused on building its core deliverables and establishing an organization that truly represents a group of executives that quite frankly has been un-recognized and under appreciated for decades. With the primary focus being on developing a global resource for these executives to be able access information, tools, and fellow executives that can help them improve their individual and corporate performance and impact, the group allows these executives the opportunity to network, grow, and seek the answers they need to solve the issues and problems we all face in our day to day professional lives.
Starting the group in LinkedIn at first, gave Glenn the opportunity to gauge the interest level and really be able to fine tune exactly what the group needed to accomplish and deliver in order to truly add value to this specific industry group and the individuals themselves. After the first three months they had over 300 fellow Loss Prevention executives coming together under the common goal of increasing the level of professionalism and impacting the companies they all work for. And now, after launching the web site last month, they’ve grown to over four hundred members representing twenty different countries.
With the launch of the group’s website, they’re expanding their abilities to impact the industries in which they serve all over the world. Launched August 6th the web site was designed as a means to allow a global platform for them to be able to interact, share, and communicate about issues and trends that are changing their industry as fast as the retail industry is changing itself. With its secondary goal of delivering and facilitating educational offerings, the group plans on holding events and allowing for the publication of various industry whitepapers or postings in relation to certain industry topics on their web site.
