Most companies have a lot of data in purchasing – they just don’t use it.
In this podcast episode, Maximilian Hahnenkamp talks with Andre Brockmoeller, Director of Global Sourcing, about the growing strategic power of purchasing in the age of AI. The focus is on how AI in purchasing, data analysis, and data-driven innovation fundamentally change the role of procurement – from an operational cost manager to a true value driver in the company.
They illuminate:

• How AI in purchasing creates real transparency from fragmented data, thereby giving purchasing stronger strategic influence within the company

• How AI helps to improve costs, risks, and delivery performance simultaneously

• Why storytelling with data is crucial to persuade management and stakeholders

• Why purchasing is increasingly becoming the central interface between the market, suppliers, and internal areas due to AI

  
  

An episode for everyone who wants to understand how AI, AI in purchasing, and data-based innovation are giving purchasing more influence, speed, and impact in the company.
