Mission	A new mantra, “Where Value Opportunities Abound” marks the focused and renewed commitment the PPRC delights in providing all customers of its educational, research-driven, and service programs. A new zeal concentrating on collaboration and comprehensiveness in the approach to public procurement provides an opportunity enabling the PPRC to lead from the front effectively positioning the overall profession as a leadership discipline tailor-made for excellence and ready, willing, and able to resolve the challenges of the twenty-first century. A commitment to Interdisciplinary undertakings fueled by Innovation and Collaboration will lead the Center to the creation of a comprehensive system of public procurement delivered through two initiatives: the creation of the PPRC Ecosystem and Procurement360. Both initiatives will provide a sustainable competitive advantage positioning the Center as the premier and cutting edge provider of education, service, and research. The end result of the two initiatives is designed to contribute value and opportunities to our stakeholders. Our stakeholders will be invited to collaborate and assist in defining the PPRC Ecosystem and Procurement360 Initiatives. Such collaboration and assistance will afford value opportunities for our own stakeholders to utilize the Center in order to grow and achieve their own objectives whether they be individual or organizational. PPRC intends to be recognized as the world’s ‘best in class’ Research Center in Public Procurement in higher education simultaneously pushing into uncharted theoretical territories while strengthening the integration of academia and practice through application.
