The Discussion
We're focusing on the questions that don't have easy answers yet. These are the recurring friction points surfacing in private conversations with leaders who are actively building, not just buying.
How do you redesign around workflows when AI cuts across traditional category boundaries?
What does “good enough” data actually look like when you’re trying to enable transformation?
How do you budget for AI in 2026 when consumption pricing replaces seat-based models?
What does performance measurement look like when AI reduces work but not headcount?
The Format
We're bringing together 20 people who are actually dealing with this transformation right now, not theorizing about it.
No Panels, No Pitches
Just structured conversation with people wrestling with the same problems.
Intimate Setting
Afternoon workshop followed by dinner and drinks.
Chatham House Rules
Speak freely. Nothing shared is attributed outside the room.
Who Should Attend
This session is designed for senior procurement leaders driving transformation.
Outstanding — refreshingly honest, with none of the usual corporate fairytales. Because of that honesty, I learned a lot and trusted what I heard. I'd highly recommend it.
