Kavita Cooper and Gary Salterpicco discuss BuyingStation’s approach to being AI First, Human Guided. They look beyond what AI can do and ask the more important question: just because it can do something, should it?

They discuss how distinctly human qualities such as creativity, judgement, empathy, experience and instinct can be supported by technology but never truly replaced. They also consider where AI can create real value in procurement, where human decision-making must remain in control and why relationships will always be central to the profession.

It is a thoughtful conversation about the future of work, but in true Procurement Whispers style, there is plenty of humour along the way. Gary brings a robot helmet, Kavita captures humanity in a globe and Procurement Walks into a Pub returns with a group of AI agents trying to choose a drink.

Watch Humanity now and join the conversation about what it means to stay human in an AI world.

They reflect on what the profession is better off leaving behind, what is still worth holding on to and whether all this technology has really helped us work smarter.

The conversation also gets into the realities of working in procurement today, from ghosting and the pressure to always be switched on to the importance of stepping away, making space to think and keeping human judgement at the heart of every decision.

 Because nostalgia has a way of making the past look better than it was. But looking back can also give us perspective on how far procurement has come, what we have learned along the way and where the profession might be heading next.

A candid, thoughtful conversation about change, technology and the human side of procurement.
