Linda Styczen posted thisI am thrilled to announce that I have started a position as a Category Manager with Alliant Credit Union. In my new role, I will be supporting the procurement strategy by leading the end-to-end strategic sourcing and contract management processes for tail spend. I am excited to be joining the largest credit union in Illinois and one of the largest credit unions in the U.S. Alliant was just named one of CNBC's Top Credit Unions for November 2023 and one of Money.com's Best Banks for America. Alliant Credit Union was also recently named a three-time winner in the prestigious Built In 2024 Workplace Awards. Alliant has not only been named as one of “Chicago’s Best Midsize Places to Work” and “Chicago’s Best Places to Work” but also the national designation of “U.S. Best Midsize Places to Work.” I am so excited that my career has led me to Alliant!

95% of AI pilots at companies are failing That's not our claim. That's MIT's 2025 research across 300+ enterprise AI deployments. The reason? Generic AI doesn't understand your workflow. It doesn't speak your domain. It sits in a sandbox, never touching the decisions that actually move your P&L. We spent 25 years inside procurement workflows of India's largest manufacturers — cement plants, pharma facilities, chemical complexes — currently managing ₹1,00,000+ crore in annual procurement spend. So when we built AI for procurement, we didn't build a chatbot. We built 6 domain-specific AI Avatars and 2 RPAs — each embedded directly into the procurement workflow where decisions are made. The MIT report found that domain-specific, workflow-integrated AI from specialized vendors succeeds ~67% of the time. Internal generic AI builds? Only ~33%. This is exactly the approach we took with VENDX Genie. We made a short video showing exactly how it works inside a live procurement environment.

💡 Four Questions Every Procurement Leader Should Ask 1. Are we ready for the future? Do we have the mindset, tools, and structure to adapt to meet future expectations? 2. Are we set up to meet expectations? Can our current operating model deliver strategic outcomes? 3. What’s holding us back? Where are the blockers? Is it capability, clarity or commitment? 4. Where should we focus? Where should we focus our effort and what changes will deliver the biggest impact?
