🚨 NEW WEBINAR ANNOUNCEMENT 📆October 23rd at 12:00 PM ET | "Autonomous Sourcing Strategies: How Agentic AI Finds Savings Others Miss" Agentic AI is changing the game by autonomously running sourcing workflows, negotiating with suppliers, and surfacing opportunities your team typically can't reach - especially in tail and mid-tail spend. While traditional automation follows rules, agentic AI makes decisions, executes multi-round strategies, and continuously scouts for value that usually goes untapped. Join expert practitioners leading the autonomous sourcing revolution: 🎯 Andreas Welsch - Chief AI Strategist & Founder, Intelligence Briefing (Host) 🎯 Raj Bajaj - Strategy Sr Manager, Supply Chain and Procurement, Accenture 🎯 Shivkumar Agarwal - Director – Product Management, Zycus 🎯 Missi Anderson - Center of Excellence, Sourcing Manager, Intel Corporation What you'll learn: ✅ Agentic AI clearly explained: autonomous decision-making with goals, tools, and feedback loops ✅ Where savings hide: uncovering value in fragmented categories and tail spend humans rarely prioritize ✅ How teams achieve up to 90% manual effort reduction on routine tasks with autonomous agents ✅ Human-in-the-loop controls: guardrails and approval patterns that keep risk low while agents run ✅ Data readiness requirements: foundations that make autonomous sourcing effective ✅ Practical rollout strategies: how to select categories, define KPIs, and prove ROI before scaling Walk away with a pragmatic playbook to pilot, prove, and scale agentic AI for sourcing this quarter.
