Which AI use case should come first?

The AI use-case workshop takes 1–2 days: together with your procurement team we collect, assess and prioritise AI applications – and end with the three use cases that are ready for a pilot.

There is no shortage of AI ideas for procurement. What matters is which ones fit your data, systems and goals. We bring proven use cases and test them against your reality.

What you work out in the workshop

01

Use-case discovery

Proven AI use cases from procurement – from tail spend to sourcing – plus your own ideas.

02

Value assessment

For each use case: expected value, effort, data requirements, tool options and risk.

03

Prioritisation & roadmap

The top three for a first pilot and a roadmap for what follows.

04

Stakeholder alignment

IT, finance, compliance and procurement leadership at one table – the basis for sound governance.

Who it is for

For procurement teams with first ideas or experience in AI who now need to decide where to invest. Ideal after the readiness check, or as a starting point for teams with good data.

Outcome

Profiles of the prioritised use cases with goal, data needs, tool options and success criteria – plus a roadmap and a recommendation for the first pilot.

How it works

  1. Preparation

    Short interviews, data samples, target picture.

  2. Collect use cases

    Gather ideas and test them against your workflows.

  3. Assess & prioritise

    Assess together and agree on the top three.

  4. Follow-up

    Profiles of the top use cases and a recommendation for the pilot.

Frequently asked questions

Who should attend the workshop?

Procurement leadership, a few operational buyers, someone from IT and, depending on the topic, finance or compliance. That way decisions are made in the room, not afterwards.

How do you assess the value of a use case?

Based on today’s time effort, frequency, error rates, data availability and risk. We estimate conservatively and make our assumptions transparent.

How does the workshop differ from AI training?

The workshop is about your use cases: we collect, assess and prioritise AI applications for your procurement. AI training, by contrast, teaches the safe use of tools such as ChatGPT or Copilot – that is what our AI training for procurement teams is for.

Can the workshop run remotely?

Yes, remote or hybrid. For the joint prioritisation we recommend meeting in person.

What happens after the workshop?

You decide. Typically the next step is tool selection for the top use case or going straight to a pilot. The profiles are written so you can continue without us.

Let's talk about your procurement.

In a free intro call we look at where your procurement stands on AI and which next step makes sense – readiness check, workshop, tool selection or pilot.
