Cut through the “50+ agents” marketing noise and learn what actually moves the needle in procurement. In this 1-hour masterclass in partnership with Zycus, procurement and supply leaders across the UK and Europe will build a clear mental model of agentic AI, learn how to distinguish genuine reasoning systems from isolated point agents, and understand why governed, orchestrated workflows are critical to turning AI from a demo into measurable procurement outcomes.

The session also connects agentic AI to the broader source-to-pay transformation journey, showing how strong procurement foundations and intelligent orchestration work together to improve decision-making, compliance, and execution.

Designed for teams navigating cost pressure, supplier risk, regulatory complexity, transformation priorities, and governance, this session will help you ask sharper questions, evaluate AI claims with confidence, and lead a more informed conversation on what agentic AI can realistically deliver in procurement.

Session flow: One hour. Three practical takeaways.

Part 1: Foundations – What agentic AI really is and what it does in procurement
A clear, hype-free explanation of agentic AI and how it differs from chatbots, automation tools, and traditional procurement technology. This section explains where agentic AI can create value across procurement workflows today.

Part 2: The Distinction – How point agents differ from agentic AI
An explanation of why single-purpose agents that complete isolated tasks are not the same as governed agentic AI. This section shows why shared context, orchestration, and end-to-end workflow design matter for real procurement impact.

Part 3: The Architecture – Why governed workflows decide whether AI pays off
A practical look at why AI initiatives fail when they are built as disconnected pilots or patchwork solutions. This section explains how enterprise-grade architecture, governance, auditability, and control help turn agentic AI into measurable procurement outcomes.
