Bill Michels

“When I was researching the Institute for Supply Management, Bill’s interview with a blogger was my first formal introduction to ISM and supply management. At ISM, Bill is a cross-line leader and subject area expert. He is well known as an authority on global sourcing, strategic sourcing, and many other areas of supply chain management. Bill has particular expertise on supply management in China and has been a great resource on that topic. When I have needed facts or an opinion on an advanced or current supply management issue, Bill has always provided important and on-point information. During this past summer (June 2014), I had the opportunity to second Bill at a supply chain workshop he delivered at client’s campus to more than two dozen professionals. I found him to be a knowledgeable and respected instructor who engaged deeply with the students. I would welcome any opportunity to work with him in the future.”

“Bill is the leading expert in his field. He can help any company”

“Bill, and his company adr, are world class leaders in purchasing strategy and training. His team consistently over-delivers and positions his client for further success long after the engagement is over.”

“Bill is one of the most knowledgeable people I've ever met in terms of what both private & public purchasing and supply management professionals need to succeed. I also admire the leadership he has given in the creation and development of the ISM-ADR School for Supply Management and I'm proud to be a part of that team.”
