Before wrapping up , he leaves us with a few key takeaways for transforming global procurement organisations and implementing intelligent digital solutions :
• There are no intelligent ERP Systems without intelligent humans using them : I often note a crucial factor ; the value of educated humans as the most powerful element of digital transformation and resiliency .

• Education is key : as long as employees don ’ t know how to deal with the additional information , data and transparency , intelligent systems only contribute to uncertainty .
• Resilience and organisational effectiveness is more than just visibility and digital tools . It involves leadership and organisation as well as partner integration across all areas of the company .
