While Hansen’s models are not yet mainstream, they are critical for organizations targeting 25–35% higher ROI through agility and human-AI collaboration. The future likely involves hybrid adoption, blending Hansen’s process-centric agility with Gartner’s structural rigor. Legacy Limitations : 45–60% of solutions (e.g.,
What are some best practices to promote optimal adoption of the governing policies and procedures in the absence of spend management technology? Note: my August 3rd, 2007 post titled Procurement’s expanding role and the executive of the future reviewed the results of a panel discussion hosted by CPO Agenda.
White Paper: Projected Adoption of Hansen Fit Technologies (2025–2075) Abstract This white paper outlines the projected adoption trajectories and anticipated impacts of Hansen’s Metaprise, agent-based automation, and strand commonality models in procurement and supplychains.
MODEL #2 An agent-based model within a metaprise framework outperforms traditional equation-based intake and orchestration models in procurement because it better addresses the complexity, unpredictability, and multi-stakeholder nature of modern supplychains. Complex, multi-tiered supplychains Superior (e.g.,
Cited as a success in Procurement Insights (2007-2014), it embodied Hansens agent-based approach, likely a precursor to the Metaprise model, prioritizing the shared relationship between human agent experience and expertise and technology-based AI agents. supplier vetting patterns) to ensure cleaned data to optimize desired outcomes.
What are some best practices to promote optimal adoption of the governing policies and procedures in the absence of spend management technology?

Hansens Context and the Absence of a Learning Loopback Process Metaprise Model Overview: Hansens Agent-based Metaprise model (2007 post) uses autonomous agents to represent stakeholders (e.g., supplier performance, tariff costs) to optimize decisions. Adaptation (Optimization): Process: Agents continuously adapt to new data (e.g.,
2007, 2014, and The GenAI Metaprise, Oct 11, 2024)involves observing data, acting, assessing results, and adapting, aligning with self-learning concepts but prioritizing practical outcomes over technical specifics. cosmetics and coffee supplychains), and highlight technicality, adaptability, and application differences.
EDITOR’S NOTE: In advance of reading the following post, have a quick read of the following two Procurement Insights posts from 2007 and 2023, respectively. Dangerous SupplyChain Myths (Part 7) Are you chasing solutions or solving problems? Their supplychain expertise (e.g.,
It fills critical gaps in depth, agility, and contextual insight that most traditional analysts and association models overlook. His Procurement Insights blog, active since 2007, has over 14,700 followers, and hes authored nearly 3,000 articles, five books, and hosted over 900 episodes of the PI Window on The World Show.
procurement officers) and AI agents (self-learning algorithms) for continuous data cleaning via a learning loopback process, as seen in DNDs 2004-2007 success (20% savings). Pierre Mitchells Profile: Leads procurement research at Spend Matters, with 30 years of experience in supplychain and digital transformation, per Spend Matters (2022).
These agents leverage principles of swarm intelligence inspired by the behavior of biological swarms like ants or beesto optimize and automate complex processes within the ERP environment. ” So, in today’s post, let’s discover what they are and how relevant they are to 2025 procurement and supplychain management.
Over the years, various methodologies have emerged to address this need, including lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, and the integration of both known as Lean Six Sigma (LSS). In this blog, we’ll delve into the integrated Lean Six Sigma approach, exploring its benefits, deployment models, moreover the implications for SMEs.
This hybrid addresses the 2025 tariff challenges (10% baseline, 60% on China, Chinas 84% retaliation) impacting industries like cosmetics and coffee, offering a balance of agility and scalability. agility, stakeholder focus) and Joules capabilities (e.g., kg Colombia) and Joule optimizing $0.10/lb Mexicos $0.30/unit
1999 – I introduced the Metaprise model (RAM) 2007 – In Dangerous SupplyChain Myths (Part7) , I write about the Metaprise in greater detail, including the results of its implementation in a production environment (Department of National Defence). Zycus Cognitive procurement systems powered by generative AI (GenAI).
“What is most interesting about Zycus tremendous growth rate is that it is indicative of the evolution (some would even suggest fruition) of a trend first presented in a Procurement Insights post from August 31, 2007.Titled “ So, what is a ProcureTech bolt-on solution? .” “ So, what is a ProcureTech bolt-on solution?
