PSC LIVE to Host GEP AI in Procurement Executive Roundtable
AI, for many years, has promised to revolutionise procurement. While applications are compelling, in many boardrooms and procurement teams, the technology has not moved much beyond proof-of-concept and enthusiastic conversations about the possibilities.
With pressures mounting in the form of geopolitical turbulence, inflationary pressures and climate-driven disruptions, organisations need more than efficiency; they need resilience, agility and the ability to make smarter decisions faster.
AI is tailor-made to deliver just that. So why are so many leaders still stuck in pilot mode?
Why is procurement hesitant?
For many, data quality remains a significant challenge, coupled with legacy systems creating bottlenecks.
Trust in AI recommendations is still low, especially in functions where compliance and supplier relationships are at stake. Selecting the wrong supplier or overlooking a hidden risk can ripple across the entire operation.
Leaders know this, which is why bold headlines about AI transforming procurement result in cautious experimentation behind the scenes.
AI: Are we putting AI to work?
This gap between promise and practice is precisely what makes the upcoming GEP roundtable, titled “AI: Are We Putting AI to Work?”, so compelling.
Instead of another glossy showcase of AI tools, this closed-door roundtable is designed to tackle the hard questions head-on.
Where is AI already delivering tangible value in procurement today? Where is it falling short? And what, realistically, will it take for CPOs to move beyond pilots and start embedding AI into the core of their operations?
During this invite-only roundtable, expect candid insights, frank debate and a willingness to cut through the buzzwords.
