Here’s what past participants say about their ISM Virtual Classroom experience…

This course felt very aligned with my day to day job. I can see many instances where I will be able to apply what I learned in the course to agreements and negotiations in my current role"

Course was very well presented virtually.  Much of the information is not taught anywhere else and it's not common knowledge."

This was extremely useful and I learned many new techniques I will be implementing right away!"

"EXCELLENT instructor! Very knowledgeable and managed time very well. Great examples, great pace, good sense of humor!

I would not change a thing. And I appreciated that [the instructor] made the class interactive…"

    AI Lab: Practical AI for Procurement is an onsite, in-person workshop designed for procurement professionals who want to use AI with greater confidence, clarity, and business impact.

    Created for business users, not technical specialists, this hands-on learning experience helps participants understand where AI can support real work, from supplier research and sourcing preparation to risk review, stakeholder communication, and stronger decision-making.

    Through guided practice, peer discussion, and a realistic procurement-focused AI activity, participants will learn practical ways to prompt, evaluate, and apply AI responsibly. Because the workshop is delivered in person, attendees also benefit from live facilitator guidance, shared examples, networking, and interactive practice alongside procurement peers.    

    This is an in-person learning experience located at the ISM HQ in Tempe, AZ. To get the most out of this workshop, please bring your own laptop.
