Not surprising Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative AI (GenAI) was high on the agenda and debated during EBGs recent CPO Outlook in Stockholm.
Present AI use cases in procurement
The response to the question how AI is affecting procurement organizations in the room now – the general answer was “Not at all” even though CoPilot, text editing, text writing and supplier recommendation was mentioned.
At the same time 82% in the room stated that they think AI will have a Lot of or Tremendous impact on what procurement do and how they do it.
Generative AI (GenAI) is set to play a transformative role in the future of procurement. But it’s essential to remember that AI is just a tool—an enabler that must be supported by the right operating model – people, processes, technology and data. The potential is immense, but are companies truly ready to take full advantage?
Welcome to a webinar where we will take an overall perspective. On procurement as a function, skill-sets and end-to-end processes in a world where AI and GenAI has entered.
