Webinar Description
We traveled a few years into the future—just far enough to see how rapidly evolving AI is transforming procurement and finance teams. In this fun, fast-paced webinar, we sat down with the ‘future’ digital workforce: a visionary Chief Procurement Officer, an AI-empowered Spend Orchestration leader, and Rain, our resident AI agent. Kate Denissova, Senior Director of the Procurement Advisory Practice, conducts the interviews, digging into how operating models have changed, what new responsibilities have emerged, and what human-AI collaboration really looks like in 2030. Equal parts insightful and imaginative, and maybe a little bit of fun, this conversation will leave you rethinking your talent strategy, your tech stack—and maybe even your job description.
