Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping procurement by enhancing efficiency, insight, and automation across supplier selection, risk assessment, and contract management. Yet, with these advancements come new ethical and governance responsibilities. This course explores how procurement professionals can harness AI’s potential responsibly ensuring fairness, transparency, and accountability in decision making. Through practical frameworks, relatable examples, and applied tools, you’ll learn how to identify ethical risks, evaluate AI systems for bias and compliance, and design governance processes that promote trustworthy, auditable procurement practices.

In this topic, you will explore how to manage biases in negotiations. You will learn to identify different types of bias, recognise them in you own teams, and how to use external biases to your advantage where appropriate.

This topic is designed to provide you an in-depth exploration of managing global and local supply risk. You will gain a better understanding of the complexities involved in balancing supply risks across multiple countries and regions. You will learn best practices for identifying and mitigating sources of supply risk so that they can be managed more effectively.

Modern contract lifecycle management (CLM) reframes contract management as a strategic, digitally enabled capability.
