Format
Live Virtual
|
|
|
Be among the first to see the findings from The Hackett Group's new Agentic AI in Procurement Adoption Index – 2026 | Canada Edition, developed in partnership with Zycus.
|
Canadian procurement leaders are clear about the opportunity agentic AI presents. They're far less confident in their ability to monitor and control it.
|
|
In Part 1, The Hackett Group shares what peer organizations are actually doing: where they're investing first, which kinds of agents they prefer, where they want tighter human oversight, and why culture and governance, not technology, are now the biggest barriers to scale.
|
|
In Part 2, Zycus puts these ideas into practice with a live demonstration of Merlin Autonomous Sourcing, showing how an agentic sourcing workflow runs with human control built in.
|
Join us on October 28 for practical Canadian benchmarks and a clear view of what good looks like.
|
