From control to coordination: Orchestrating procurement to deliver measurable value

share

Procurement leaders are under intense pressure to simplify complexity, manage risk, and prove value far beyond cost savings; all while tech stacks and AI capabilities expand at pace. 

Procurement orchestration is helping to do all this by breaking down siloes. But what does orchestration really mean? How is it helping to deliver more value? And what problems does this new operating model solve?

In this webinar, Chris Vessey, VP of Customer Value & Innovation at ORO Labs, and former procurement transformation leader at organisations including Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and P&G, shared how to unlock new levels of impact.
 
Drawing on real-world experience orchestrating global Source-to-Pay and third-party risk programmes, Vessey will unpack what procurement orchestration is, how agentic AI changes the operating model, and where organisations are realising tangible benefits - from supplier onboarding and intake, to policy compliance and cycle times. 

Attendees will leave with:

  • A practical lens for turning noisy KPIs into a clear value narrative
  • Ideas for human-centred change that actually land with stakeholders
  • A roadmap for coordinating people, AI agents, and systems, without ripping and replacing existing tools
