EuroSPI² Initiative
EuroSPI²'s mission is to develop an experience and knowledge exchange platform for Europe where SPI practices can be discussed and exchanged and knowledge can be gathered and shared. This mission is implemented by 5 major action lines:
- An annual EuroSPI² conference series supported by leading industry and research from different EU countries.
- Establishing a set of books and journals and by that establishing a knowledge library for process and product improvement.
- Establishing an SPI Manifesto emphasizing that assessments are only a starting point and more important is the improvement program to really achieve improvements.
- Establishing a board of representatives for the SPI manifesto world wide, and establishing social media groups connecting with the community.
- Establishing a European Academy with Certificates for a pool of professions related to srtaegy projects in the EU and related with SPI and management. This is supported by European certificates, exam systems, and online training platforms, as well as by strategic EU programs like DRIVES and ALBATTS.
There is a defined mission and vision statement which defines the term SPI continuously in the context of new developments.
