Procurement’s Role in Governing and Optimizing AI Spend
AI budgets are growing faster than anyone can keep up: 46% of companies overran their AI budget last year, and 1 in 5 can’t say who actually owns spend.
In a moderated roundtable, we’re getting procurement perspectives to address where AI spend decisions get made, whether AI is paying off, and why optimization can’t happen until the ownership question is answered.
WHAT ARE THE 3 THINGS ATTENDEES WILL LEARN?
- Why AI budget ownership is still unresolved at 1 in 5 companies, and what that uncertainty costs you
- Why usage-based AI pricing breaks the traditional model procurement and finance both rely on
- A practical way to split AI spend ownership between procurement and finance
WHAT ARE THE 3 PAIN POINTS THE WEBINAR SOLVES FOR?
- You don’t have a clear answer for who signs off on AI spend once it’s live
- You’re missing context ahead of every AI invoice because nobody’s watching consumption
- You’re unsure whether procurement and finance are even measuring ROI on AI the same way
