What does AI-first procurement actually look like day-to-day?

In this webinar, you'll see the shift first-hand through International Paper's pilot of Sievo MCP, which brings live spend data into the AI tools their teams already use. We'll walk through real use cases concretely: what each one does, what it replaced, and what it delivered.

You'll leave knowing what to ask of your team, your vendors, and your data before your next AI investment.

What you'll learn:

• What AI-first procurement looks like day-to-day: Grounded in real procurement data, shown through International Paper's Sievo MCP pilot & ChainIQ's workflows
• A repeatable path to value: How leaders get from initial AI business case to delivered results
• How to build the data foundation your AI actually needs: What needs to change to get data an AI agent can act on
• Where AI wins and where it doesn't: Honest lessons from live deployments, including what deliberately stays human in the loop and why

Your speakers:

• Aaron Clark, Procurement Innovation Director at International Paper, shares what the Sievo MCP pilot looks like in daily use: conversational spend answers within the tools his teams already work in, and what adoption looked like in practice.
• Travis Johnson, Market Head Americas at ChainIQ, walks through the methodology ChainIQ uses to accelerate AI implementation across their Source to Order processes and their "Better Together" philosophy.
• Heta Pirttijärvi, SVP Product at Sievo, shows what lies beneath: the AI-ready data layer that makes the difference between agents you can trust and those that make bad data worse.

Who should attend:

• Procurement professionals at all stages of AI adoption, from beginners to more advanced practitioners
• Procurement Executives, Transformation, Innovation, and Analytics leaders who want to stay ahead of what the digital transformation roadmap should look like
