Navigating Uncertainty of Buying AI: Risks, Rewards, and Smarter Choices
Episode 26
Tuesday, 4 November, 2025
Everyone’s talking about AI. Few are buying it wisely. In this episode of Procurement Game Changers, we tackle the big question: How do you navigate uncertainty when buying AI solutions — and still make smart, strategic decisions? Our guest, Debo Lufadeju brings a wealth of experience leading complex strategic sourcing projects across private and public sectors. His golden rule? “Take a step back and understand what business problem you’re solving before investing in AI.” We discuss why 95% of AI pilot projects fail, how to tie investments to measurable outcomes, and the role of procurement as a strategic partner in innovation, not just a gatekeeper. Tune in to learn how to balance innovation with practical risk management — and buy AI with confidence.
