Webinar: The Missing Link: Preparing Our People For The Future of AI
Amidst all the excitement around how AI will transform the way Procurement delivers value to organisations, one key ingredient never receives enough attention: our people.
How are we preparing our people for a radically different future? How are we positioning them to succeed in tomorrow’s more demanding organisation? In short: we’re not. In fact, a recent Gartner survey found that only 14% of Procurement departments believe they have adequate talent to meet the function’s future requirements. So, what do we do?
In this hour-long webinar, Graham Crawshaw FCIPS, Procurement Content Director, CASME, and Omer Abdullah, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer, The Smart Cube, covered:
- The expectations of Procurement in a post-AI world
- The profile of tomorrow’s Procurement practitioner
- How we can begin to bring our people along towards this future state
Omer and Graham were joined by Ruji Mahmud, Head of Procurement Strategy, Transformation & Operations at GE HealthCare, and Ryan Teeples, Head, Global Sourcing Category Management at Keysight Technologies.
Webinar Date- Wednesday, 10th April 2024
