Gartner's Ryan Polk highlights that AI investments in procurement reveal deep-rooted process inefficiencies and that transformation requires rethinking workflows rather than digitizing old processes. Enterprises must standardize processes, understand data and decision logic thoroughly, and redesign job roles to translate individual AI productivity gains into organisation-wide value.
