Artificial Intelligence in Strategic Sourcing
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme examines how the practice is shifting, and what delegates should adopt, adapt or ignore. It works through contract administration and bid adjudication as they stand today and where they are heading. The shift is worth understanding because procurement decisions are now audited for process as closely as for price. Delegates leave able to work confidently with inventory optimisation, supply risk assessment and demand planning in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Spot where inventory optimisation is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act
- Make a decision about supply risk assessment without waiting for a specialist
- Put demand planning on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Take ownership of ethical sourcing rather than escalating it
