CPO’s Guide to Technology Investment Approval

Technology plays an important role in every business function, and procurement is no exception. However, it can be tricky to get the budget you need, the internal resources allocated, and user adoption for technology investments, especially AI solutions. For procurement leaders, this presents a challenge: how can you overcome those issues and get financial approval from leadership? Download now to discover how CPOs can increase their chances of getting approval for tech investments.

How to Get Approval on Your Technology Investment

Get executive buy-in
CFOs and CIOs are skeptical because past systems have overpromised and underdelivered. AI-native solutions simplify workflows, reduce risk, and deliver quick wins. Speak their language and show measurable ROI to get the green light.
Cut through the red tape
From integration concerns to security reviews and stakeholder skepticism, red tape can stall even the best ideas. The key is choosing solutions that reduce complexity, align with existing workflows, and make life easier for IT, finance, and end users alike.
Make your case impossible to ignore
Winning approval for new technology means speaking your stakeholders’ language. Ground your pitch in measurable outcomes and tailor the message to what each function cares about. With the right framing, even skeptical teams will see the value.
