AI In Procurement

What are the five things all procurement teams should consider when they’re evaluating AI solutions? 

As 2024 sees a shift from ‘dabbling’ with AI to formally integrating it into the business, this Art of Procurement podcast episode explores a framework that procurement teams can use as they decide how/when to adopt AI solutions and introduce new emerging technologies into their legacy processes, workflows and systems.

Philip Ideson is joined on this insightful episode by Heather Murray, AI trainer and advisor at Beesting Digital and founder of AI for Non-Techies, who says having an AI strategy is a must for every procurement team.

“2023 was the year of the ‘dabbler.’ We all heard about AI, and we were all playing around with ChatGPT. We were dabbling around, but we were not integrating. I think 2024 is the year that we actually integrate AI and start to create workflows around it,” says Heather.
