Description
Purpose This paper examines the limitations of certification centric professional validation in procurement and supply chain, particularly as artificial intelligence increasingly automates the theoretical knowledge traditionally assessed by certification bodies. It explores how credential driven evaluation affects professional identity, inclusivity, and capability recognition, and proposes a modernized, capability based alternative.
