On April 10th 2018, 25 European countries signed a Declaration of cooperation on Artificial Intelligence. It builds further on the achievements and investments of the European research and business community in AI.

Given this announcement, one would reasonably expect that AI is progressively moving forward in all areas of the global enterprise including the procurement function. However, when it comes to an organization’s supply chain, and despite a recent McKinsey report that cited the tremendous impact of digital reinvention regarding the growth of revenues and profits, only 2 percent of companies polled report that the supply chain is part of their “forward-looking digital strategies.”

So where is the disconnect, and even more importantly, what needs to happen for digital reinvention and the materialization of the Artificial Intelligence promise to become real in the procurement world?

Join EBG | Network and Jon Hansen from Procurement Insights along with a guest panel of international experts as they draw a roadmap for achieving success in an AI procurement world.

Panelist line up

EBG | Network are happy to welcome Sally Hughes, Chief Executive Officer at IACCM,  Rob Handfield, Bank of America University Distinguished Professor of Supply Chain Management at NC State University and an IACCM Fellow and Jack Shaw, Executive Director, American Blockchain Council

Key Takeaways

  • How can you gain an understanding of AI and its impact on procurement?
  • What new skill sets must procurement professionals acquire to succeed in an AI-driven world?
  • How can you establish the framework for making AI-based procurement a reality in your organization?

All who register will receive the slides and recording, joining us online will give you the opportunity to compare live with peers. Your online and registration details will only be shared with the co-organizer. We promise to take care of your time spent with us.
