Webinar Description

In this webinar, participants will delve into the evolving landscape of procurement and explore the emerging priorities that are reshaping the role of the Chief Procurement Officer (CPO). As organizations navigate an increasingly complex global market, CPOs are tasked with not only ensuring cost efficiency but also driving innovation and sustainability.

The webinar will highlight key trends such as the agentic AI, the importance of data quality, integrating data and analytics into decision making and the implications on talent. By the end of the session, attendees will have a comprehensive understanding of the priorities shaping the future of procurement leadership and practical strategies to implement within their organizations.

What you will take away:

• AI is accelerating at an extremely fast pace. Agents will soon be available and CPOs must start planning how to leverage these new technologies to maximum effect by making investments in better data management and updates to people strategy.
• Integrating data & analytics into specific decisions will improve decision quality within procurement. Quality of data, however, will be needed to achieve this goal.
• Procurement needs to think about both the skills of talent that consumes technology, and the new skills required to enable digital business
