Procurement teams are continually being asked to do more with limited time and resources—without compromising accountability, sound processes or professional judgment. This practical workshop will explore how procurement professionals can improve efficiency through thoughtful uses of technology, streamlined processes, and operational improvements.

Presenters will share real-world examples of approaches that have reduced administrative effort, improved workflows, and supported more timely, informed decision-making. Participants will leave with practical ideas they can consider adapting within their own organizations.

Presenters:

  • Dorris Fiander, AI Strategy & Leadership Advisor at Quantum Growth AI
  • Tanya Davio, LCBO
  • Michelle Trudel, Town of Ajax

The workshop will also include an interactive Q&A discussion, providing attendees the opportunity to ask questions and hear practical insights from procurement professionals actively working in this space.
