Catherine took the view that growth in the criticality of big data was inevitable with the supply chain manager\u2019s key skill changing from managing operational issues to managing data. Andy stressed that the biggest weakness in most operations was not being able to manipulate the data already available, so the main priority should be using existing information to enhance current performance. A lively debate ensued, with many inputs from the floor. In a closely fought vote, Catherine came out just ahead, though all agreed the depth and quantity of data could only grow; but the capability to use it is struggling to keep up.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to Catherine and Andy for this interactive and entertaining debate and to our members for taking part. We look forward to seeing you at our Autumn dinner in November 2015!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","region":[158,159,160,161,162,240],"class_list":["post-905","event","type-event","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Client Alumni Spring 2015: Big data, big hype - London - Argon &amp; Co<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.argonandco.com\/en\/news-insights\/events\/crimson-co-client-alumni-xiii-update-browns-hotel\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Client Alumni Spring 2015: Big data, big hype - London - Argon &amp; Co\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Thank you to all of our guests at our client alumni event for making it such a success.
