What you’ll learn

Procurement is reinventing itself for an AI‑first world. This Gartner webinar presents 5 predictions for how AI will reshape procurement’s operating model, technology roadmap and talent mix — and what that means for chief procurement officers. Join us to explore how foundations like data quality and process visibility enable agentic and AI‑native workflows, why regulatory and technological shifts are elevating multitier supplier transparency, and how roles, skills and governance will evolve as AI moves from isolated pilots to orchestrated, enterprise‑scale impact.

  • Understand the five prediction themes shaping AI‑first procurement, including foundations, visibility, talent and orchestration.

  • Identify near‑term priorities to improve data, process and cross‑functional alignment so AI use cases can scale beyond pilots.

  • Explore talent and operating model implications as AI automates routine tasks and rebalances work toward higher‑value, human‑AI collaboration.
