Cirtuo Procurement Forum 2024 with my presentation on ‘What is the business problem technology needs to solve for Procurement’. It is an interesting question and it took me a moment to organize my thoughts around it. Yesterday, Dr. Elouise Epstein 🏳️⚧️ spoke about the breathtaking speed of disruption based on AI systems and the impact it will have on Procurement. Mark Webb provided insights on the current stage of maturity in category management and the low level of digitalization in this space. Reflecting on this during a panel with Lance Younger, Sam Achampong FCIPS, and Elouise brought out a clear call to action: We need more digitally minded leaders to make the digital transformation in Procurement happen, not more technology. It was a good insight that my presentation could build on. If technology is available and AI takes away mundane, repetitive tasks, the importance of human intelligence will further grow. Managing relationships, understanding requirements, connecting the dots - machines won’t do this. However, technology can provide the required information, summarize it, and identify opportunities. That’s the business problem: Technology must enable Procurement to make holistic decisions. We have a full day ahead of us and will discuss how Procurement can navigate complex environments and business problems through category strategies and technology. I can’t wait to hear what our speakers have to say! Check out the agenda and sign up for our newsletter to receive the content afterward! #CirtuoProcurementForum #CategoryManagement #Procurement #HolisticDecisions #MakeCategoryStrateiesActionable
