    "profileDescription": "For managers and non-technical teams; no programming required.",
    "problem": "Companies often approach procurement and supplier intelligence through scattered experiments: a few prompts, a few enthusiastic users, many doubts about data, quality and responsibility. This course turns that uncertainty into an operating method. Participants work on realistic scenarios, learn where AI helps, where human review remains essential and how to make the practice repeatable inside the company.",
    "audience": "For managers and non-technical teams; no programming required.",
    "whenToChoose": "Choose this course when the company wants concrete progress on procurement and supplier intelligence and needs training that produces usable workflows, not abstract theory.",
