Agentic AI Procurement Masterclass by Zycus
This live Zycus Masterclass on Agentic AI in Procurement runs as two 30-minute sessions. Every enterprise is quietly accruing "agent debt," the compounding cost of AI agents that get built, bought, embedded, and wired together faster than anyone can govern them. The agents that approve a purchase order, touch the supplier master, or burn tokens in a retry loop often sit outside any inventory, ownership, or control.
In Session 1, The Hackett Group frames what Agentic AI actually is, how it applies to procurement, and how isolated point agents differ from orchestrated, governed agentic flows.
In Session 2, procurement thought leader Omid Ghamami explains why DIY and studio-based agent approaches create agent debt, akin to technical debt, and why enterprise-grade architecture matters. Together they separate two ideas most teams fold into one: the agent estate (what you have) and agent debt (what holding it costs you in risk, rework, and spend). We close on what good looks like: a governed estate where every agent is owned, scoped, metered, logged, and stoppable by default. Isolated agents do tasks. Governed, multi-agent flows take procurement from Intake to Outcomes. This is the practical playbook for putting your agent estate back on the books before the interest rate climbs.
