We actively welcome and encourage references and links to our articles as well as citations. We have included a set of social/business networking links at the top of each article to help facilitate the sharing and distribution of our articles. So sharing is both welcomed and appreciated.

The citation policy refers more specifically to direct quotes in things like practitioner training materials and presentations or media stories. We encourage this too.

However, any companies (consulting, technology, etc.) looking to quote CPO Rising or Ardent Partners research for commercial use must have our prior written approval.

Let me know if you have any other questions and thanks again for spreading the word.

When sharing our articles via Twitter it is impossible to meet your citation policy as there are only so many key strokes available. Any suggestions on how to share without violating your policy?

I enjoy your article and want to share and the spread word on the good work that you and your team are doing.

Thank you.

Our citation policy for content found on CPO Rising by practitioners (i.e. CPOs and their departments) and media can be found here https://cporising.com/about-cpo-rising/

This is what it says – Citation Policy:
(1) We encourage references, links, and citations but kindly ask that when quoting from the site, please cite as “Andrew Bartolini, Publisher of CPORising.com”

(2) Solution/service providers and any commercial use of this site’s content must have our prior written approval.

UPDATE – As I reread your comment, I realize you are talking about referencing the final report. Our same citation policy holds true. Procurement departments and other practitioners may refer to Ardent Partners’ research with proper attribution – Title, Company, Author, Date, etc… (in this case Ardent Partners)

Companies (consulting, technology, etc.) looking to use Ardent Partners’ research for commercial use must have our prior written approval.
