When this episode's featured guest first stepped into his current role, he made a point of meeting with all of the different business units and support functions. He found that many of procurement's most transactional processes were almost entirely manual. Rather than seeing this as a problem, it was seized as an opportunity to improve efficiency and the company's supplier experience at the same time.

In this episode of the #LoveProcurement podcast host Stephen Carter welcomes Adam Lalani to the show. Adam is the Chief Technology Officer at Alliad, a global leader in integrated services in emerging markets around the world.

Adam and Stephen talk about the growing role of digital in corporate strategy and what it means for the IT-procurement relationship:

• Why Alliad made the decision to digitize and automate the supplier journey from beginning to end
• How the success of that effort inspired them to continue digitally transforming procurement
• The ongoing effort to re-engineer their processes to take full advantage of the latest digital capabilities
