EVENT: Mannheim benchmarks AI and procurement execution gaps
Mannheim Business School held a masterclass on the State of Procurement and Supply Chains 2026, using global CPO survey evidence to examine AI, resilience, sustainability, cost priorities and the gap between executive ambition and procurement execution.
The Dataleo angle
The affected decision is whether procurement AI and resilience initiatives are translated into sourcing, supplier and contract choices. Value requires benchmark evidence to change category strategy, supplier segmentation and operating-model design. The failure mode is treating AI maturity as a survey score rather than a changed procurement decision.
