Stop Calling Everything Agentic
Every vendor pitch I've sat through this year has used the word "agentic." Most of them are lying, if only to themselves. Not exploiting a loophole, not entirely wrong either, just relabeling.

Digital transformation paradox:
Going 150km/h vs 120km/h saves you 15min on a 2hr journey, but 10x the crash risk.
The same applies to #ProcureTech rollouts.
Move at "controlled speed" or watch your best talent leave while processes get worse, not better.

The "Other" category in purchasing commodity codes = a black hole for spend data.
Start by tracking spend logged under "Other" codes, spotting trends, & reclassifying out of "Other". When ready, remove "Other" entirely for clearer spend visibility.
