Episode Highlights

• Martin provides further insight on how AI works and in what ways it can benefit us to meet our procurement goals

• Phil and Martin discuss different negotiation strategies and schools of negotiations and how they are integrated in AI

Key Points

1. AI is not the next bidding platform, but its the very much needed in procurement.
2. Strategic considerations need to be made during this crisis because right now ensuring deliveries is more important than squeezing some extra money from suppliers
3. AI managed negotiations are in many ways better than negotiations done by humans for example AI can test all of the strategies and approaches and choose the best one.
