- More about The Intelligent Buyer: How AI Is Rewriting Procurement, Supply Chains and Commercial Judgement
Every generation of procurement technology has arrived with the same promise: this time, everything changes. AI is no different, except that it really might be. In The Intelligent Buyer, Garry Mansell, a former Mars procurement practitioner turned technology founder, argues that AI will not replace procurement's judgement. It will simply reveal whether that judgement was ever there.
This is not a technology manual, and it is not another breathless case for digital transformation. It is a practical, sharply argued guide to the space between machine capability and human responsibility, where automation genuinely helps, where it quietly becomes abdication, and where accountability must never leave the room. Drawing on real commercial experience rather than theory, Mansell introduces frameworks readers can use immediately: the Decision Ladder, the Accountability Test, the Supplier Intelligence Map, and a twelve-tool appendix built for use, not just reading.
Written for procurement and supply chain leaders, founders, CFOs and the boards who oversee them, this is a book about buying better in an intelligent world, and becoming the kind of buyer AI cannot make obsolete; judgement, trust and commercial courage were never the machine's job in the first place.
