The 10 Principles of Future Procurement in the Age of AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping procurement, but most organisations are using it the wrong way. Instead of transforming how procurement creates value, AI is often applied just to automate outdated processes. The future demands more.

In The 10 Principles of Future Procurement in the Age of AI, Dionne Jacomello sets out a bold manifesto for leaders who want to move beyond efficiency into resilience, ecosystems, and innovation.

These principles challenge procurement to stop chasing savings and start building sustainable supply systems, unlocking human creativity, and embracing complexity as a strategic advantage. From treating AI as an extension of human intelligence to designing for resilience and leading with ethics, this framework outlines what it will take for procurement to thrive in the AI era.

Procurement is not back-office anymore, it’s a driver of value and transformation. The organisations that embrace these principles will redefine industries. Those that don’t will be left behind.
