In case you missed it, Ellen Leith, CEO at Purchase to Pay Network, spoke with Sylvain Féraud, Director Group Purchasing Services, Servier, and Julien Nadaud, Senior VP of Innovation, Corcentric, about the potentially profound benefits AI will bring at a human level and how you can harness then, and not watch your opportunities sail by. Here are the key takeaways: 🔷 When used in the correct way, AI can help us simplify a complex environment. 🔷 Artificial Intelligence, Digital Transformation and Automation are among the big themes affecting Source-to-Pay. 🔷 The amount of knowledge we have access to, thanks to AI, is amazing. The role of AI can vary, enabling it to communicate with each part and resolve actions independently. This is a digital assistant that does not just answer questions, but can push questions to notify the user. This provides the opportunities to take action before something becomes an issue. 🔷 Generative AI has become a bit of a buzzword - let's understand the tech behind it, and deep dive into what it actually entails. 🔷 The two biggest business objectives globally are to improve operational efficiency and to improve customer experience. This goes hand in hand with customer experience. 🔷 It makes such a difference when the user journey is developed to be easy to use. People are more likely to accept new tech when it is easy to understand. This step needs to be taken first, before implementation can go any further. Some organisations do not want to share their data with AI, which slows down the process of development. 🔷 Once users are on board with AI, it will be a gamechanger. You will be able to get a more holistic view of your data and better visibility across the entire infrastructure. You will be able to manage projects more effectively and quicker, thanks to all of this data provided to you. 🔷 The main difference between now and in the future is more autonomy. More processes will be completely automated. The key will be to work with the early adopters, and acknowledge any valid concerns with detailed explanations. Understand your reasoning for doing something, and share this company wide. Show how it helps make life easier.
