MENULeaders of the Future 2020 has gone virtual!
Based on our original face to face Leaders of the Future program held at our annual conferences, we have created a new virtual program for young CCM professionals to connect and share ideas with others in a fun interactive global competition! A great deal is published about the importance of developing leaders, and at IACCM, this need has been recognized. We also understand how our new “working from home world” we find ourselves in can be challenging at times. That’s why we have created this new virtual program running from April to June 2020.
The program, created and designed by IACCM CEO, Sally Guyer, provides our members with the opportunity to nominate a young individual from their organization to step into a new and challenging (virtual) environment. The selected young stars are invited to join a private session with senior leaders to enable them to deliver a virtual presentation on a specific issue.
Participants benefit from interactions and mentoring by ‘leaders of today’ and are exposed to transformational ideas and emerging technologies.
This program is available to IACCM corporate members only (with a limit of 1 nominee per organization). The Spring 2020 program is now full but if you are interested in future programs, please contact info@iaccm.com

The Challenge
Coronavirus has been the catalyst for new ways of working that environmentalists championed but failed to achieve. While we are rapidly discovering the challenges of our enforced virtual world, the nature of this pandemic indicates that we should expect profound long-term changes in working practices. Commerce and supply chains depend on relationships, on effective negotiation and collaboration.
As “Leaders of the Virtual Future”, what do you believe must change to ensure that our virtual trading relationships are sustainable and deliver social and economic benefit?

“BAE Systems has participated in the IACCM Leaders of the Future initiative since its inception. It provides a great platform to expose our talent to a range of inspiring, exciting and thought provoking opportunities and individuals. Our participants acknowledge the experience as a unique and valuable development opportunity and have created new networks that continue to be sustained. I am thrilled that IACCM are able to offer this initiative in our new, virtual environment.”
Jacquie Millward Head of Commercial, Head Office and Maritime & Land
“Great progress being made and along with the Leaders of the Future program continues to position IACCM for greater growth and influence ahead – and that speaks to strong leadership and a strong team. Well done!”
Roderick Wade, MBA, Vice President, Contract Management, MedImpact
“The Leaders of the future program is a great initiative from the IACCM which allows the new generation of Commercial & Contract managers to mingle with more experienced professionals, and to be exposed to the most innovative trends and best practices shared in the industry. All of our young leaders who had an opportunity to participate to the program came back thrilled, energized and with a network of other young CCM professionals with whom they stay in contact. This program is a source of inspiration for our young colleagues and it constitutes an opportunity for us to reward our best talent.”
Isabelle Roux-Chenu, Head of Group Commercial & Contract Management, Capgemini
“The Young Leaders programme has been a key element in our ability to encourage and grow young talent in the commercial community. We use it as a focus for our internal selection competition which uses the IACCM Theme within a business improvement project given to the candidates. The individual benefits from interaction with the wider commercial community, while the business benefits from new ideas and continuous improvement. This year being virtual we have been able to commit two candidates to the programme. We recommend the programme to all businesses to encourage growth and talent.”
Ian Wakeling, UK Commercial & Trade Compliance Director, Lockheed Martin UK
