CPSM Certification – Without the Pressure, With All the Advantage
Every workflow in this system is grounded in the globally respected Certified Professional in Supply Management (CPSM) framework — but unlike traditional certification prep, this isn’t theoretical.
You’ll implement real AI-driven procurement workflows first — and if your team chooses to certify, they’ll already be using the tools and tactics CPSM recognizes.
Professional Credibility
Certification isn’t required — but it’s included. You get the training, workflows, and frameworks aligned to CPSM, with the option to earn the credential as proof.
Career Retention Tool
Empower top analysts to stay, grow, and advance — without needing to request additional training budgets. Certification is built into the experience, not an upsell.
Leadership Visibility
Align your department with national standards while leading the charge on modernization. This makes your work legible to executive leadership without additional spend.
“This system reflects what I’ve taught CPSM candidates for 15 years — but flipped. Implementation first, certification optional. The best teams use it to get better… and then prove it.”
Built by a Marine Officer Who’s Led Teams Through Pressure, Change, and High-Stakes Missions
I Spent 20 Years in the Marine Corps Preparing Leaders to Perform Under Pressure —
Now I Do the Same for Public Procurement.
After retiring from the Marine Corps, I spent the next 15 years helping procurement and supply chain professionals lead with clarity in high-stakes environments.
Backlogs. Budget cuts. Rising compliance.
Now AI is rewriting the rules — fast. And many procurement teams are being told to “modernize” with no support, no tools, and no margin for error.
I created the Procurement Performance Upgrade because I saw what was coming.
You don’t need another training. You need a tactical, AI-ready workflow system designed to deliver under pressure.
That’s what the OPS Framework™ is — and behind it is the Adaptive Advantage™:
A system to help directors evolve, protect authority, and maintain operational control — without exposure or tech chaos.
This isn’t theory.
It’s built from field-tested, results-driven execution — like everything I was trained to deliver in uniform.
No consultants. No new software. No certification required.
Just practical workflows that work inside real procurement departments — now.
AI is here.
But teams that adapt, lead.
Let’s make sure yours is one of them.

How Public Procurement Teams Are Using This System to Cut Risk, Save Time, and Regain Control
RFP Completion
💼 RFP in 30 Minutes — Instead of 2 Weeks
A procurement manager used the workflow to deliver a full RFP in under 30 minutes.
That single win freed up weeks of capacity for their team.
“We’d never moved that fast. It gave us our time back.”
Compliance Review
📆 Compliance Review in 15 Minutes
— Not 3 Days
Beta team built an AI-powered Compliance Tool that:
Flagged risky language
Explained why it was non-compliant
Suggested corrected alternatives
Compliance review process dropped from 3 days to just 15 minutes
Cost Negotiation
💡 AI-Assisted Cost Negotiation Saves the Deal
Matthew Burke used the AI tools to:
Push back on a proposed supplier price increase
Reference PPI data instantly
Find an alternative product on the spot
His team retained budget control — and avoided a 15% cost spike.
