“By 2020, every important decision, personal or professional, will be made with the assistance of artificial intelligence.”
- Ginni Rometty, IBM CEO
Already transforming fields like health care, finance, entertainment and retail, IBM’s Cognitive Technology solution, Watson, also has the potential to understand, learn and think through any procurement issue or question presented, offering detailed answers, analysis, or solutions, just as human can.
The difference is, Watson can do this on a scale and speed that outstrips the human brain.
This presents great opportunities for procurement, helping make faster, more informed decisions, with deeper insight and greater certainty.
But in this fast-paced world, does procurement have the agility – and desire – to embrace this new technology to stay relevant? And what is the role left for procurement professionals, when the smartest guy in the room is Watson?
Procurious teams up with IBM to help procurement professionals get to grips with Cognitive and its potential to redefine procurement strategy, planning and decision making.
