  Building an AI-First Procurement Operating Model in 2026

  Sponsored by Zycus

  The AI window is closing - not on adoption, but on advantage.

  Every procurement leader is experimenting with AI. 100% of procurement leaders now report some level of AI implementation, and yet 72% still consider their AI maturity only "moderate," with successful use cases in some functions but limited efficiency gains at scale. The real question for 2026 is no longer whether to use AI - it's how to operationalize it enterprise-wide before your competitors do.

  The shift from Generative AI to Agentic AI is redefining what's possible in procurement. Autonomous agents can now execute across sourcing, supplier management, negotiation, and payments - but only organizations that redesign their operating model around AI will capture the full value.

  In this thought leadership webinar, Zycus brings together procurement innovators and industry analysts to tackle the hard questions CPOs are grappling with right now:

  • Why most AI pilots stall - and the operating model changes that unlock enterprise scale.
  • The Intake-to-Outcomes shift: How AI agents are rewriting the procurement journey from first request to final payment.
  • Winning the talent equation: As AI and automation remove transactional friction, human relationships matter more at the points of trust and innovation - what that means for your team structure.
  • Responsible AI in practice: Nearly all large companies deploying AI have reported some risk-related financial loss from compliance failures and flawed outputs - and how governance frameworks are separating leaders from laggards.
  • Real benchmarks from digital leaders: Digital masters deliver 2× higher savings as a share of spend and 2.6× higher ROI than the average - what they're doing differently.

This year, the differentiator will no longer be who uses AI, but who can source, integrate, and scale it across the enterprise. This webinar gives procurement leaders the frameworks, case studies, and roadmap they need to move from experimentation to transformation.
