Procurement leaders are investing heavily in technology, but AI readiness remains uneven.
The 2026 ProcureCon CPO Study finds that 43% of organizations plan to prioritize integrated, cloud-based procurement platforms, while 39% view automated sourcing and supplier risk management as critical investments in the year ahead. However, only 11% say they are fully ready to leverage AI.

This study examines how CPOs are navigating the gap between AI ambition and execution, and what they must address to move from experimentation to measurable impact.
What’s Inside:
- Where CPO technology investment is focused
- The biggest barriers limiting AI readiness and execution
