Learning at the Speed of Thought: 2025 Procurement Trends

My NotebookLM Procurement Experiment

Thanks for reading Zen & the Art of Procurement Automation! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.

Let's be honest: Who has time to watch 7 hours of conference videos?

I certainly don't.

However, I was intrigued by the Art of Procurement's Digital Outcomes 2024 YouTube playlist and wanted to discover a smarter way to consume this valuable content.

Enter my experiment with Google's NotebookLM.

The Challenge

  • 13 YouTube videos

  • Approximately seven hours of content

  • Goal: Distill key insights for busy procurement professionals

My Approach

This wasn't about copying the Art of Procurement's excellent content. Instead, I wanted to demonstrate a replicable learning methodology:

  • Use AI as a research companion

  • Identify core themes

  • Condense complex ideas

  • Create a digestible summary

What You'll Discover in This 21-Minute Podcast

  • Emerging digital transformation strategies in procurement

  • Key technological trends for 2024

  • Practical insights from industry thought leaders

  • A new approach to rapid, efficient learning

This is an experiment in knowledge acceleration. I'm sharing the output and the process of how modern professionals can leverage AI to learn more effectively.

After listening, I want to hear your thoughts.

  • Did this approach work?

  • What would you do differently?

  • How else could we use AI for rapid learning?
