“I applied the vendor risk-scoring AI model in Week Two. We identified a $3.2 million exposure in a cloud services contract that Legal hadn’t flagged. My COO called it the most impactful analysis we’ve done this quarter.” - Lena R., Senior Procurement Lead, Chicago “As someone with zero AI experience, I was skeptical. But the step-by-step playbooks made it simple. Within two weeks, I automated our vendor onboarding flow and cut processing time by 68%.” - Amir K., Operations Manager, Dubai “This isn’t theory. These are actual tools I now use every week to prioritise vendors, negotiate better terms, and demonstrate value to leadership. My promotion last month? This course was a key reason.” - Jamie T., Project Director, Sydney Risk Reversal: You’re Protected Every Step of the Way
