Procurement is behind the AI curve - but that’s okay.

🙋Ask questions like this.

It was a long day. Many questions were answered, but the question I received the most was: “What AI do you have?”

This isn’t a terrible question. But what I’ve realised is that it is often asked for the sake of it. The person asking the question doesn’t know what AI they’re interested in. They don’t know why they’re asking it. My assumption is they’ve been asked to find out how to use AI in procurement—a good challenge. Businesses worldwide are doing the same for every part of the business.

However, there is a lack of basic knowledge behind the question of AI.

Simply having AI doesn’t guarantee improvements.
