| . "The standardization and structure that IAOP has created is just what this industry needs. Get on board with it or you're going to get left behind." Ramiza Sipilovic, Manger, Customer Service International Service Network Partners, American Express
The Certified Outsourcing Professional Program (COP), developed by IAOP and the Outsourcing Standards Board (OSB), is the first program of its kind for the outsourcing industry. Supporting outsourcing professionals, the COP Program provides education needed for outsourcing success as well as credentialing for individual and organizational differentiation.
The core of the COP Program is the COP designation. This designation is awarded to individuals working as outsourcing customers, providers, and advisors who have demonstrated the skills and capabilities required to design, implement, and manage outsourcing programs with a high probability of achieving the organization’s intended outcomes.
IAOP is pleased to present three workshops in support of the COP Program and the industry’s ongoing effort to improve outsourcing outcomes by raising the bar for the professionals in the field.
