The 90-Day Advantage: Shifting Left on Supply Chain Disruption
The DRAM crisis, or the COVID shortages between 2020-2023 or even the 2018 MLCC shortages weren’t the start of a disruption—it's simply the moment a risk that’s been building for weeks finally makes headlines. By the time a traditional alert triggers, your leverage is gone.
Join us for a deep dive into Predictive Supply Risk Intelligence (PSRI) and discover how Lytica’s proprietary data engine transforms over 70 market-level demand, supply, and capacity signals into a single, actionable rating. By evaluating structural market pressures up to 90 days before they hit your production line, forward-thinking procurement leaders can reclaim valuable weeks of runway—ensuring continuity, protecting margins, and navigating supply volatility from a position of strength.

Almost every procurement team has AI running somewhere. Very few have managed to scale it.
Most organizations have landed in the same place: automated workflows with a human checking every output. That is real progress, and it is where the majority stall. Scaling is not a matter of adding more agents. It is a different problem with a different answer.
This session is a candid conversation for teams ready to move past that plateau. Our panel discusses why individual task-specific agents rarely scale, and why what scales is a governed workflow rather than a standalone agent.
From there, the discussion turns practical. The panel shares a six-part test they use to decide where AI should be deployed first, separating a use case that will scale from one that stalls after the pilot, and works through real examples of agentic AI running in procurement today.
The conversation closes on governing it: where a human should stay in the loop, what guardrails need to exist before an agent acts on its own, and the signals that tell you when it is safe to widen the boundaries. Plus the step most teams skip, which is what to baseline before you deploy, so results can be attributed and the next phase can actually be funded.
