Case Study: Case Study: Establishing Your First AI Footprint in Sourcing Execution to Move From Ambition to a Working Deployment

9:00 am - Tuesday 9th March 2027

A candid, real-world walkthrough of one organization’s first attempt to embed AI into day-to-day sourcing execution, covering where they started, what went wrong and what it actually delivered.

  • Identifying where to plant AI first in the sourcing workflow, from RFP preparation to bid analysis and contract review, to choose a starting point that delivers visible value quickly
  • Examining the practical hurdles of a first deployment, including data readiness, IT and legal approval, and getting buyers to adopt the tool, to anticipate the roadblocks before they slow you down
  • Reviewing the measurable results and lessons learned, to build a credible business case for scaling AI from a single pilot across the wider sourcing function
