AI Partnership & Procurement
How to evaluate AI vendors, structure partnerships, and avoid the procurement decisions that constrain your organisation for years.
AI procurement is unusual compared to other enterprise technology procurement because the market is developing so fast that today's leading solution may be significantly behind in 18 months, because the switching costs for deeply integrated AI systems can be very high, and because the gap between what vendors claim and what actually works in your specific context can be large. The organisations navigating AI procurement well share a specific discipline: they buy for current need with an explicit plan for flexibility, and they never let vendor enthusiasm substitute for their own evaluation.
