Finding quick wins Building comprehensive AI capabilities takes time, but procurement leaders understandably want to demonstrate value quickly.
The key lies in identifying areas where AI can deliver tangible benefits in relatively short timeframes, matched to organisational maturity. Tricia frames this opportunity clearly:“ It is less about‘ procurement roles are going to be eliminated, procurement work will be eliminated’. Roles have a massive opportunity to be elevated within the organisation and the procurement activities that they support.”
For organisations at tactical stages, smart intake and orchestration systems remove friction from processes.
Tricia explains:“ Smart intake and orchestration – ensuring that you’ re removing friction from the process and getting the request from the initial point of entry to where it needs to go within a procurement organisation or straight through to purchase” – will deliver value quickly.
