Ep 14: One Year into the Generative AI Journey feat. Chris Sawchuk and Vishal Patel
RELEASED 8/13/2024
For almost two decades, The Hackett Group has been asking procurement leaders about their priorities for the current year, how they plan to invest in skills and technology, and what new and trending topics have seized their attention. Since procurement is a constantly evolving professional discipline, some areas of the study show only minor adjustments year to year while others – like AI – enter the results with disruptively innovative force.
In this episode of the #LoveProcurement podcast, Philip Ideson is joined by Chris Sawchuk, Principal and Global Procurement Advisory Practice Leader at The Hackett Group, and Vishal Patel, Vice President Product Marketing at Ivalua. They discuss some of the high level findings of the most recent study data and how it tracks what they are seeing transpire as we move through the year.
Chris and Vishal discuss their individual experience and perspectives on:
- The milestones and potential risk areas associated with generative AI
- The ongoing struggle to create or free up more time for procurement to spend on strategic tasks
- What they expect to see emerge as major trends in 2025
