Stop leaving ROI on the table. Our 2025 CPO-CIO Report reveals that the success of your digital roadmap and AI adoption hinges on the relationship between Procurement and IT. This unscripted session, The New Power Couple, is built on the reality that this relationship won't work without a conscious effort on both sides.
In this strategic session, you will learn:
- How to convince IT that transformation is worth the investment.
- The most valuable use cases for demonstrating ROI.
- Synchrony's approach to AI adoption and how they simplified complexity.
