In this edition of Konversation, we explore the rise of enterprise AI agents in procurement, the shift from SaaS to custom AI over the years, our new partnership with Elevante AI for building custom AI leadership workshops, and our upcoming AI Leadership Xchange Roundtable in Dallas on August 27, 2026.
Top 3 Market Insights:
- AI Agents for Smart Procurement: Many procurement teams are currently using off-the-shelf AI platforms to automate negotiations and contract workflows, but on scaling, there is an increase in licensing costs and platform constraints. More procurement & supply chain leaders are exploring custom AI agents that integrate natively with their ERP and procurement ecosystem.
- The Shift from SaaS to Strategic AI in Construction: The question is no longer “Should we buy an AI platform?” It’s “Which AI capabilities should we own?” Standard document management belongs in SaaS, but the AI that understands your contracts, project history, and delivery processes is increasingly becoming a strategic asset that enterprises are choosing to build themselves.
- Physical AI in Action: This is a conversation we kept having with leaders this year. Real equipment, real cameras, and machine learning tuned not for a demo, but for a factory floor, pharma line, or construction sites. Based on our past work, success of Physical AI in manufacturing is dependent on detection (via vision or sensors), reasoning logic, and triggering actions (via equipment, system, or platform).
