Agentic AI isn’t just faster automation — it’s a new operating model for procurement. These autonomous agents can perform tasks like running sourcing events, negotiating with suppliers, and making complex trade-offs with minimal human input.
But most procurement teams aren’t built for this level of autonomy. To stay ahead, leaders must shift from managing workflows to designing systems that enable intelligent agents to deliver outcomes.
In this webinar, GEP’s Rakhi Mallick and Vlad Brincoveanu discussed how agentic AI transcends systems to impact people, processes and operating models. You’ll learn how procurement is evolving and what it takes to prepare.
On the agenda:
- The new thinking required to drive the move toward autonomy
- Real agentic AI use cases in category management, S2P, and sourcing
- What’s next: super agents and self-optimizing ecosystems
Whether you're exploring your first AI deployment or already building with intelligent agents, this is your roadmap to what’s next. Register now to watch back on demand.
