Procurement at AI Speed — A Podcast on AI in Procurement and Commercial Judgement

Artificial intelligence is reshaping procurement, strategic sourcing, supplier risk, contracting, controls, negotiation, vendor management and commercial models.

Procurement at AI Speed is a short, opinionated series for procurement and commercial leaders navigating what AI changes across sourcing, supplier management, contract management, risk and commercial decision making.

Each episode starts with a current development or a real procurement tension and asks a harder question: what does this actually change for buyers, suppliers, contracts, pricing, controls and commercial outcomes?

No vendor pitches. No generic AI tips. No AI news for its own sake.

One argument. One concrete example. One question worth taking into the next executive, sourcing or supplier conversation.

If AI Does More of the Work, Where Does Procurement Create Value?

If AI can increasingly do the work, where should procurement people create value? BCG modelling suggests redesigning procurement around AI could free up as much as 60% of buyer capacity — but capacity on its own is not value. What matters is what procurement does with it.

When AI Saves Time, Who Turns It into Value?

AI can save procurement teams significant time. But released capacity is not automatically value captured. What changed operationally or commercially — and who owns the conversion?
