Ep 242: User Beware: AI Contract Terms to Watch feat. Wendy Storino

The mind-blowing potential of AI, either in LLM form or embedded in a SaaS solution, is so impressive that it would be easy to overlook the risks. Some of these risks come in the form of data security, but others linger in signed contracts that contain very real (but seemingly harmless) terms that change in importance as the technology evolves. In this episode of The Sourcing Hero podcast, Host Kelly Barner welcomes Wendy Storino. Wendy is a seasoned procurement leader with nearly two decades of experience in technology sourcing and supplier strategy. She has taken it upon herself to better understand the contract terms that procurement needs to understand to manage risk and cost in the age of AI. Wendy discusses some of the things procurement needs to know about AI-related contracts: The challenges resulting from the rapid rate of AI/tech development Whether the addition (or the embedding) of AI changes the associated liability Why procurement (not to mention legal and IT) have a greater opportunity to learn across their contracts rather than focusing on one at a time Links: Wendy Storino on LinkedIn

Ep 241: Creating a Prime Packaging Customer Experience feat. Bhavuk Chawla

There are some categories of spend that we all interact with differently because of the way they affect us as consumers. Packaging is a prime example of this. The level of strategy and effort invested in every choice make these buying decisions and supplier partnerships fascinating to study. In this episode of The Sourcing Hero podcast, Host Kelly Barner welcomes Bhavuk Chawla. Bhavuk has a Master’s degree in packaging technology, and has worked in either packaging development or packaging procurement for almost two decades. Bhavuk shares his in depth experience with packaging from the cost, brand, and supply chain points of view: -How packaging choices enhance the consumer experience -Considerations (including tradeoffs) that have to be managed in the buying process -Balancing internal priorities and objectives with new supplier ideas and innovations -Increasing supplier (or supply chain) resilience through packaging sourcing decisions

Ep 240: Creating an Aligned Supply Network With Aligned Incentives feat. Justin Dillon

If a company doesn’t know exactly what they are buying and about who they are buying it from, there is a good chance that their supply chain is riskier than they realize. The same lack of transparency creating that risk, also creates the conditions that allow forced labor and modern slavery to exist. In this episode of The Sourcing Hero podcast, Host Kelly Barner welcomes Justin Dillon. Justin is the Founder and CEO of FRDM AI, a solution that helps companies map their supply chain, isolate risks, and access risk mitigation tools. Justin first encountered the realities of modern slavery during his first career as a musician, progressing into documentaries on the subject, and finally getting more directly involved in solving the problem itself. Justin talks about the effort associated with identifying risks that could hurt a business or that could hurt the world at large: Why it is such a challenge for companies to get (and keep) visibility into their supply chains What he sees as replacing the supplier audits and questionnaires that procurement has always used to manage risk Why intelligence is more valuable and actionable than data Making a solid business case for mapping a supply chain, and why that is more effective that altruism Links: Justin Dillon on LinkedIn
