1:05 PM Workshop: What AI CAN’T Do: Strengthening Soft Skills In An AI First World

As AI becomes more embedded in MRO procurement, the skills that set leaders apart are increasingly human. This interactive workshop will focus on the soft skills AI can't replace: critical thinking, communication, judgment, influence, and why they matter more than ever in an AI-first world. Attendees will explore how to intentionally strengthen these capabilities to lead more effectively, collaborate across stakeholders, and drive better outcomes alongside AI-driven tools.

  • Understand which procurement skills require human judgment over AI
  • Improve communication and influence with suppliers and internal stakeholders
  • Walk away with practical techniques to future-proof your leadership skill set
