The Agentic AI Procurement Masterclass: South Africa Edition

Beyond The Hype: From Point Agents to Governed Procurement.

Cut through the “50+ agents” marketing noise and learn what actually moves the needle in procurement. In this 1-hour masterclass, South African procurement and supply leaders will build a clear mental model of agentic AI, learn how to distinguish genuine reasoning systems from isolated point agents, and understand why governed, orchestrated workflows are critical to turning AI from a demo into measurable procurement outcomes.
