Powering The Recode: Building the Intelligence Layer for AI-Native Procurement

Your AI agent’s ready to work.

There’s just one problem: it doesn’t understand your business. It doesn’t know why one supplier’s preferred, when policy should bend, what happened last time or what a good outcome actually looks like. Without that context, AI doesn’t create intelligence. It just accelerates confusion.

Procurement’s spent years trying to clean up its data. But data’s only the raw material. It becomes valuable when it’s combined with content, commercial understanding and the context behind each decision. That’s Procurement Intelligence, the living layer that gives agents something meaningful to think with and turns AI-native procurement from an idea into something that can actually work.

Join Dr Elouise Epstein, Digital Futurist from Kearney, Joël Collin-Demers, Consulting Principal from Pure Procurement, and Alistair Cane, co-founder of Axiom, as they challenge procurement’s obsession with data, expose what’s wrong with bolting AI onto yesterday’s systems and explore what organisations need to recode before their agents can genuinely act.

Join us on the 11 Nov at 16:00 (GMT) / 11:00 (EST) to learn:

• Why layering AI onto legacy processes can create faster chaos rather than genuine transformation

• How context transforms supplier, catalog, contract and policy content into better decisions

• What an agent must understand before it can be trusted to recommend, decide or act

• The foundations procurement teams must build now to become genuinely AI-native
