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.

A new research report by Harvard Business Review Analytic Services, “Procurement 2030: Reimagining the Professional’s Role After AI,” explores what AI means for procurement over the next decade.

On November 5, in a live, interactive HBR-AS 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

To learn about the forces reshaping procurement and how to seize the emerging opportunities, join HBR-AS and procurement experts from Gap and Zip on November 5.
