- Leverage IAOP’s platform and knowledge base to learn about best practices, competencies, and influencer management strategies including trends in the global sourcing marketplace pertinent to industry development.
Networking Purpose: A Networking forum for Jordanian and Regional service providers, buyers, consultants and professionals. This will assist in the growth of the industry through generation of thought leadership, sharing of industry best practices and partnership synergies.
Leadership Purpose: The chapter will work closely with other regional chapters to bring together greater visibility to the MENA region and contribute to the growth of outsourcing sector in this region. As an emerging region, Jordan chapter shall leverage IAOP’s COP program and other Professional education initiatives to enhance capabilities and expertise of outsourcing professionals within the region. There will also be efforts to inform and educate buyer organizations in the region on the benefits and options of outsourcing so that the demand for these services continues to grow.
