Procurement 2030: Reimagining the Professional’s Role After AI

Every month it seems, a new breakthrough in frontier AI is forcing leaders in every function to reassess how AI will change the nature of work and value creation. Firms that are farthest along in transforming around this technology are augmenting human intelligence with AI to produce something more capable than either alone.

On November 5, in a live, interactive HBR webinar, Tigran Avakian, head of procurement at Gap, and Jason Powell, managing director of enterprise transformation at Zip, will review the key findings from this research and share how they see AI transforming procurement.

They will discuss:

• How AI will accelerate procurement’s shift from transactional to strategic work
• How AI is closing the connection between procurement and finance
• Anticipated changes for procurement managers, who will become AI managers
• The most important skills procurement leaders will need in the future
• How AI will change work and the workday for procurement leaders
