Procurement & AI - Anil & Marco Stenvert CPO Wolters Kluwer

Procurement is Cool - AI makes Procurement Splendid! Anil Joshi [https://www.linkedin.com/in/anil-joshi-1332b2], Founder of training company Splendid Tiger, is in dialogue with Mr. Marco Stenvert [https://www.linkedin.com/in/mstenvert/], Chief Procurement Officer at Wolters Kluwer [https://www.wolterskluwer.com], to share insights on how AI is transforming procurement. We discuss: Why AI grew differently and why procurement felt it faster than almost any other function. Hype or bubble? This answer might surprise you. How to actually get started with AI in procurement with use cases, data foundations, and agent orchestration. From operational to strategic — why AI could finally free procurement to do the work that matters. The "return on experience" — why employee engagement is the real ROI of AI adoption. Procurement as matchmaker — how Procurement can lead supplier-driven innovation for the whole business. Predictions for the next 1–3 years — and an honest "let's listen back and see what developed differently and what was right" Mega thanks to Marco for sharing his experience and insights.🙏🏻 Why do I make these podcasts?
