In today's conversation, we host Adrian Pinder and Lauren Feery from DS Smith, discussing the intersection of digital transformation, AI, and procurement in the packaging industry.
Exploring how DS Smith is leveraging AI to enhance operations, improve design processes, and drive sustainability, this episode highlights the importance of balancing innovation with business strategy and sharing the AI use cases you pursue.
How AI can free procurement teams: You've got strategic brains doing admin, and experts who can't get to the important stuff. Too much time is spent on low-value tasks and not enough time on high-value contracts. We discuss how AI is changing that.
Why procurement tech is evolving: The AI shift isn't just for giants - it's a game-changer for mid-size businesses, too. The right AI tools don't need to cost a fortune.
Is AI more than a hype cycle: Learn how a simple translation tool saved DS Smith hundreds of thousands of pounds, and why sharing your use cases is essential in building internal momentum behind AI.
This week's newsletter gives you six simple but critical questions that cut through the hype of any AI demo you see: ask how the system works, how it fails, whether it's reliable, explainable, and capable of ROI at scale.
This newsletter is written for non-technical leaders to cover the practical, second-layer questions that will help you decide if any AI tool is commercially worth your investment.
