Unlocking Efficiencies for AI Implementation in Procurement Optimization
By the end 2025, over 60% of procurement decisions will be influenced by AI, yet most organizations still struggle to implement it effectively. Procurement leaders face a paradox: Artificial Intelligence promises transformation, but only when implemented with surgical precision. The hype is over—AI is now a board-level mandate actively reshaping how procurement functions, but turning promise into performance demands more than interest; it requires executive clarity. In our last article, we explored how AI creates value. This time, we’re focused on how to unlock it. From fragmented data and compliance constraints to change resistance and misaligned processes, the road to AI success is lined with pitfalls. What separates the leaders is a practical, people-first approach—one that aligns technology with business goals, ensures stakeholder trust, and delivers measurable impact.
