What does AI training for procurement teams actually look like?

It teaches your team to run real procurement workflows — supplier research, contract review, spend analysis — with AI tools they already have. Not a theory course. Each person builds something they'll use next week.

What does procurement AI training actually cover?

The LucyWorks workshop runs four segments in two hours. The first twenty minutes build a mental model: think of AI as a contractor you're briefing with a job description, not a search bar you're typing questions into. Three management styles, three building blocks, one briefing method.

Then the team picks a deep track — either contract and price-increase analysis, or multi-supplier quote normalization — and works through it live. After a look at the other track, the final fifty minutes are hands-on: each participant briefs and builds their own AI agent for one of their recurring tasks.

Four skills, specifically:

1. Brief AI like a contractor — write a job description, not a one-off question.
2. Build a reusable agent — a job description plus a case file that re-runs weekly on new inputs.
3. Attach context without data risk — the session uses synthetic case files (a fictional MSA, supplier quotes, a price-increase letter), so no company data leaves the room.
4. Judge output using four decision modes — Discover, Validate, Synthesize, Decompose.

How is it different from a generic AI course?

Most results when you search for AI for procurement training are certification programs or platform-vendor academies. Those tend to teach general AI concepts — what a large language model is, responsible-AI principles, a demo of one vendor's product.

This workshop skips that layer entirely. It starts from procurement work — contract clauses, supplier quotes, spend categories — and shows how to handle that work with whatever AI tool the company already has. Whether that's ChatGPT, Claude, or Copilot, the method transfers. Vendor academies can only teach their own tool. This trains the method.

No IT setup required. No company data required. Just a browser and the team's existing AI access.

What do participants walk out with?

A working AI agent. Not a certificate, not a slide deck. Each person builds an agent during the session tied to one of their own recurring tasks, and leaves with it running.

The team also gets the full materials pack — synthetic case files, prompt templates, cheat sheets — plus the session recording for internal use.

Two weeks later, a 30-minute follow-up call checks what stuck and what didn't. And a post-session summary is written specifically for forwarding to leadership.

Built by a practitioner running AI adoption inside a Fortune 500 procurement organization.

Who is it for?

Procurement and supply-chain teams of up to 15 participants per session. The content is built for practitioners — category managers, buyers, sourcing leads, contract specialists — not for executives watching a demo.

How much does it cost, and what's included?

The team workshop is €2,500 — a pilot price for the first three teams, in exchange for honest feedback and a reference conversation. That covers:

• A pre-session fit call and track selection
• The 2-hour live workshop (virtual or on-site)
• Full materials pack (synthetic case files, prompt templates, cheat sheets)
• Session recording
• A 30-minute follow-up call two weeks later
• A post-session summary for leadership

Guarantee: if the session doesn't give your team at least one workflow they'll actually run next week, you don't pay.

What if the team wants to learn at their own pace?

LucyWorks also offers The 20 Lessons — a self-serve course at €199. Twenty short lessons, each running one real procurement task across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot on a dated run, with real screenshots and synthetic case files. Immediate access to all twenty after purchase.

Same task. Three platforms. Real output.
