Deliver inspiration to everybody in the organisation

AI is transforming the purchasing process from end to end.

Whether it’s AI-powered risk assessment and supplier monitoring, predictive sourcing, or optimising inventory management and purchase order processes, countless organisations have already embraced AI. Some purchasing managers even use AI to forecast and optimise budgets and to automate regulatory compliance. But here’s the thing - this is just the first step in a far deeper transformation of purchasing around AI technologies.

In this inspiring talk, Richard will bring you on a journey into the AI-defined future of purchasing operations.

The future of procurement is near.

Soon, AI will automate most back office roles, leading to huge purchasing workforce reduction. AI will be both predictive and proactive, as autonomous systems make independent purchasing decisions based on current and likely future market conditions. Determining resource and raw material availability will be possible years ahead of time.

AI will transform quality assurance through pattern recognition algorithms and predictive defect analysis. Eventually, quantum AI will enable unprecedented real-time supply chain optimisation, testing countless scenarios against a cloud-based digital twin of the entire global market.

The Basics of AI

What exactly is AI and how does it work? What are language models (LLMs) and AI agents, and how are they becoming increasingly intelligent? What are recent developments, breakthroughs, and commonly used tools?

Powerhouse of possibilities

The possibilities of AI are endless. It accelerates and improves various aspects of our work. It's creative and delivers what we thought impossible.

The impact on our jobs

AI is approaching the job market like a high-speed train. Jobs will disappear and new ones will emerge. Which ones are they? And what does this mean for education and prosperity?

Impact on our results

AI has a major influence on our economy and the results and viability of organizations. How can we increase profits and reduce costs through AI?

Implications for ethics and safety

How can we balance the 'wow' and 'oops' aspects of AI? What safeguards and regulations are needed? Where do the dangers lie?

Organizing AI

AI is becoming an integral part of every function, department, and organization. But how do you organize this in a proper, safe, and successful way?
