Title and outline: The AI-HI Transformation Playbook: How CPOs Can Navigate Change with Confidence
Procurement transformation is complex. Procurement and supply chain leaders are under constant pressure to be more strategic, digital, and efficient, all while balancing competing stakeholder demands. Gen AI offers immense potential, but how do you translate that into real impact?
This session is about having an honest conversation about what’s working, and what isn’t. Every CPO faces similar challenges: AI adoption that feels disconnected from reality, teams struggling with change fatigue, and the relentless demand for fast results.
If you're navigating uncertainty, feeling the pressure to deliver, or simply looking for a clearer path to transforming your procurement function, this session is for you. Let’s tackle this together.

Title: Beyond Cost Savings: How CSL Transformed Procurement into a Strategic Profit Driver.
Session overview:
Procurement is about driving enterprise-wide value. Join CSL and WNS Procurement for an inside look at how CSL evolved its procurement function from a decentralized cost center into a unified, profit-driving force. This transformation, powered by governance, stakeholder alignment, and strategic partnerships, has delivered a 3% EBIT impact, and a future-ready procurement model that has elevated the function’s role as a strategic partner in CSL’s value chain.
Key discussion points:
- • Why transform? The need for a unified procurement strategy to drive business impact.
- • Building the right model: governance, alignment, and strategic outsourcing for efficiency.
- • Overcoming challenges: resistance to change, operational complexities, and embedding new ways of working.
- • Measurable impact: how procurement at CSL became a true business enabler with tangible financial results.
- • Building business partnering: delivering on all of the above and at the same time strengthening the partnering aspect of strategic procurement.
Takeaway: A clear roadmap for shifting procurement from a tactical function to a strategic profit enabler.
Speakers:
- • CSL’s Trevor Reay and Daniel Johansson
- • WNS Procurement’s Mita Gupta
