76% of leaders say data-driven decision making is the goal, but most people still don’t trust the data they’re looking at. That contradiction is not just frustrating, it’s expensive. We talk with Susan Walsh, founder of The Classification Guru, about what actually breaks procurement data and supplier master data over time, and why “just add AI” won’t fix a messy foundation.
We get practical about data quality in supply chain management: why cleaning and standardizing data gets treated like a side task, how the long tail of spend hides the biggest problems, and why tariffs and supply chain relocation make accurate, up-to-date data even more urgent for scenario modeling, forecasting, and real-time visibility. Susan also shares how to think about buying technology the smart way: start with your end goal, avoid paying for add-ons you don’t need, and choose tools that fit your specific use case instead of copying competitors.
Then we dig into AI, gen AI, and agentic AI. Since every model learns from training data, bad inputs can create confident-looking misinformation and spread it across your systems. We also cover data governance basics that matter globally, like consistent units of measure, date formats, naming standards, and the people-side change management that keeps data clean after the project ends.
If this conversation helps, subscribe, share it with someone wrestling with spend analytics or master data management, and leave a review so more supply chain teams can find it.

00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:11.439
Hey, glad to catch you no matter what you're in the middle of doing today.
00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:14.880
Just uh thrilled that you decided to take some time out and hang with us.
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:20.480
I'm Melanie with ISM, and yep, another episode of Supply Chain Unfiltered.
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:24.160
Today we are focusing our efforts on data.
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:33.840
And I would say a few years ago, you know, a lot of companies were looking for data analysts, people that specialize in data.
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:45.119
And now it seems that almost no matter what your role is within a company, you're expected to be able to manage data, to analyze data, because it's at the crux of everything.
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:48.960
I want to share something with you I ran across before I introduce our guest.
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:56.799
It's a 2025 study by Precisely and Drexel University's Labo College of Business.
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:04.879
And in the study, they found that 76% of the participants said that data-driven decision making is their number one goal.
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:07.840
But here's the here's the other side of that.
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:15.280
Of those participants stating that, 67% of them said that they don't trust data.
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:17.840
Yeah, that's a problem, right?
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:26.239
So uh we're gonna kind of head into everything data, and who better to chat about it than uh guest Susan Walsh.
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:31.200
She's the founder of the classification guru and a longtime friend of ISM.
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:33.280
So good to have you here, Susan.
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:35.040
So great to see you.
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:35.680
How are you?
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:38.319
I'm I'm great, I'm great, you know.
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:40.959
How could I not be great with you on the show?
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:42.159
Um true.
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:47.599
And we're talking on Friday afternoon, so that's always, you know, we're cool, we can sniff the weekend.
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.359
Yeah, yeah, it's just the teaser, the teaser is here.
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:57.040
So um I want to kind of set things up a little bit, uh, you know, before I let you kind of dive in.
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:07.200
But when you think about it, if we all look at how we're operating today compared to five years ago, and I don't need to spell out what happened five years ago.
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:09.199
We all know and we lived it.
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:26.000
Um but I'm wondering with all the things that have changed in the last five years, uh it still seems like thing, you know, I I'd say operationally speaking, and data has a lot to do with it, things are kind of out of control.
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:30.319
I don't know if it's an again or just kind of continuing on.
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:41.280
But how should businesses be revisiting and focusing on their data today and what, if anything, has changed since five years ago?
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:42.879
Yeah, a little bit.
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:49.919
Actually, coincidentally, it's our eight-year anniversary for classification guru this month.
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:56.240
So I've just uh scheduled up and built a post around what is different now from eight years ago.
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:09.840
So even rolling back a little bit further, procurement analyst wasn't a job back then, it didn't exist, like a lot of the spend analytics was all outsourced, and now that's all in-house.
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:34.319
Um, and so when they took a lot of those skills in-house, there's very qualified um and capable data analysts who can do amazing coding, they can do fantastic scripts and AI and dashboards and analysis, but nobody really gets trained on the cleaning data part.
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:41.840
And you know, I speak to people, and this is this is a conversation that's been going on since we were paper-based, like pre-computers.
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:47.120
Like data quality standards have always been an issue.
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:53.039
Um, unfortunately, something that hasn't changed in all that time is the focus and priority of it.
00:03:53.280 --> 00:04:09.840
I think it's kind of seen as something less important, almost menial as a task, but actually getting someone who is skilled in it, you know, can really improve and enhance your data quality really quickly to help you get to where you want to go.
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:12.159
But all guess what?
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:13.919
Like we're going around in circles, you know.
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:18.480
There was new tech like five years ago, and it needed clean data to work.
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:23.680
All these like spend analytics tools out there, all that work, it needed clean data to work on.
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:27.279
Now we've got AI, gen AI, agentic AI.
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:28.160
Guess what?
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:31.199
It needs clean data to actually work properly.
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:32.800
Nothing has changed.
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:37.920
And and I really hope, and I am seeing people talk more about data quality now.
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:42.639
So I think maybe this might be the turning point with with the use of AI now.
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:43.279
Yeah.
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:44.079
But we'll see.
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:51.519
Yeah, and we'll get to AI a little bit in a little bit, but I wanted uh um get your thoughts on tariffs.
00:04:51.839 --> 00:05:14.160
And and um, you know, a lot of we're relocating some of our supply chains for various reasons, but um so I'm wondering with with those two things going on, is it a good time to upgrade our data systems, or is it better to hold off until some of this geopolitical dust settles?
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:16.800
This is the best time.
00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:45.279
I have literally had projects put on hold because of the tariffs, and actually that's the worst thing that could have happened because you need accurate, up-to-date information and real-time visibility to be able to do like modeling on what-if scenarios, um, forecasting for the future, looking at historical information, um, making decisions based on that information.
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:52.079
How can you compare your data if it's not accurate or you don't even have that information?
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:59.839
So, like really you are you're on the back foot before you've even started with the tariffs if you don't have clean and up-to-date data.
00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:05.680
It's going to be a and it might not be a problem that people realise until it's too late as well.
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:10.560
You know, it's one of those things you really need to be on top of.
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:26.720
And again, it's nobody, apart from the people who really are in the weeds and do it dealing with it, and the the more senior levels of management don't seem to appreciate the the importance of investing in your data quality, and it really is an investment, it's not a cost.
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:28.240
And I have a question.
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:58.560
I'm wondering, you know, with that kind of mentality or prioritizing those kind of decisions, is it that people have an aversion to doing the data cleaning because they'd rather just, oh, it'll be fine and we're just going to move forward and um focus on you know integrating um, you know, the innovation that has all the bells and whistles, but they don't take care of the fundamentals first.
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:00.480
Is that is that what goes on?
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:09.680
Well, I I think there's definitely uh uh thought around that it's something that's really easy to do.
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:16.319
And the reality is we've helped clients shave months off of projects.
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:22.720
Um, you know, something that was taken one of our university clients a year to do, we could do in like three months for them.
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:25.920
Oh like what is the value of that to the business?
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:32.800
And and that isn't something that they could have just done themselves, it was taking them a year because they have all the other things to do too.
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:39.600
We do this day in, day out, and all the other suppliers out there that do it, you know, that that's really important.
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:50.959
And then the other thing is I think that most people think their data is so bad and it's such an overwhelming task that they're like, you know, la la la la la la la.
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:55.199
No plus, you know, let's just pretend it's not happening, let's just keep moving forward.
00:07:55.360 --> 00:08:01.680
And and I can tell you now that nine out of ten clients that we work with, something has gone wrong massively.
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:05.120
There's trouble, and they need to fix it yesterday.
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:14.079
And that's the only time that the money actually becomes available to clean the data, which is such a shame because it should really be about being proactive, not reactive.
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:24.720
So that must be a lot of, I would imagine, a lot of stress on you because your clients, uh, I would imagine many of them come to you in fire drill mode.
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:26.240
Yeah.
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:26.879
Yeah.
00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:33.679
Um and you have to like, I mean, with me, what you see is what you get.
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:34.399
I'll be honest.
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:42.480
If it's gonna take, I mean, our longest project normally takes about four months, but if it's gonna take four months and not four weeks, I'm gonna let you know that.
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:47.840
Um, I always try to over overpromise and underdeliver.
00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.240
No, yeah, that's the one.
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:54.720
Um wait, and you you overpromise and under deliver or the opposite?
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:57.440
No, over underpromise and over-deliver.
00:08:57.840 --> 00:08:58.399
That's the one you mean.
00:08:58.559 --> 00:08:58.879
Yeah, yeah.
00:08:59.200 --> 00:08:59.919
Let's go with that.
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:00.879
I know.
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:07.600
But yeah, so basically, I will always add in buffer time to each project because I know things can go wrong.
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:14.960
So nine out of ten times we can deliver before the the actual estimated finished date rather than after it.
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:24.159
So try to manage the expectations of the clients and be honest with them about how much work is actually involved.
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:32.080
And sometimes it's about doing like a little proof of concept and showing them like the difference between what their data is and what it should look like.
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:36.320
And sometimes that's the only time they kind of realize that they've got an issue.
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:36.879
Yeah.
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:38.000
Oh, yeah.
00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:39.759
Aha moments are good.
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:40.559
Um, yeah.
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:43.600
So also, sorry, no, um, just one more thing.
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:58.000
So a lot of people will kind of maybe cheat and look at their top 80% of spend or suppliers or you know, their top top companies or top products or whatever, and and if they're looking okay, then they think, okay, that's fine.
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:04.960
But actually, in that bottom little bit, the tail, there is so much trouble hiding in there, you really need to check it and be thorough.
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:14.399
I and so I wanna I wanna kind of head back into AI for a minute and and tech integration.
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:27.840
And with all these things going on, um I I imagine it's hard for decision makers to kind of decipher where they should put the spend on this type of uh on the innovation.
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:41.679
And because there's all these new products, lots of new capabilities, they all roll out so quickly, and you don't want to invest in something that might end up being antiquated sooner than later.
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:53.279
Um so in that vein, is there one consideration that you can offer up um that businesses should take a look at before they shell out those dollars?
00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:59.120
Absolutely, and that is is it fit for what the purpose that you need it?
00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:15.039
So I hear a lot about uh with with clients we speak to who have committed to a three, four, or five-year deal with a with a company, and then they're actually paying for like half of these add-ons that they don't even need.
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:22.159
So I think it's really important before you even set out looking at suppliers, look at what your end goal is.
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:23.840
What do you need to achieve that?
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:30.080
And and try not to fall into the trap of being sold, you know, this magical tool that's gonna do everything for you.
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:31.600
It doesn't exist really.
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:40.240
And what is right for your organization might be very different to the next one, to the next one, like don't just follow what your competitors are doing.
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:41.279
That's not gonna work either.
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:42.879
Good point, good point.
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:51.440
Um, do you think part of that too is where you end up um committing yourself to more, I'll say more tools than you need.
00:11:51.679 --> 00:12:08.000
Could that be uh in a way where a company's looking at their longer-term goals and they think that, hey, you know what, if we invest in this now, we're kind of ahead of the game because we'll be ready once we reach this goal and this one and this one.
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:15.679
So they think they're being smart, but what if, you know, as we know, things happen, they don't always go according to plan.
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:24.080
Most companies I speak to are not thinking of the end goal, they're thinking of the we need to fix something right now.
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:28.879
And so the first conversation I have is let's not just think about the right now, let's think about longer term.
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:33.679
What can we build in now that can be useful for you in the next six, twelve, eighteen months?
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:39.519
And I think that is where some of the problem lies too.
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:47.759
When you're having these discussions uh with providers, they're telling you all these solutions and problems they can solve.
00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:49.440
But do you have any of those problems?
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:51.120
Is that actually what you need?
00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:55.120
Like, what do you need to be successful in the next three to five years?
00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:56.960
Will this tool help you get there?
00:12:57.120 --> 00:13:01.600
And I don't think most organizations are thinking like that.
00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:09.759
And regarding AI and all the iterations of AI, yeah.
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:16.080
Um do you think businesses should still be exercising caution?
00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:19.360
Oh, absolutely.
00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:29.600
Um, more important than ever, every single piece of AI that we use, whether it's in the home or at work, is built on training data.
00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:32.960
So that training data has come from somewhere else.
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:44.240
So it has to be clean, it has to be accurate, otherwise what the AI is learning is not right and could actually be contaminating and populating your data with misinformation.
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:51.600
And if you've got your own in-house model, that's great because you know exactly where the data's come from.
00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:56.000
You know, you'll know if the quality is good or bad and and and be able to judge it.
00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:58.639
But what if that information has been sourced from the internet?
00:13:58.960 --> 00:13:59.919
Where has that come from?
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:01.360
How can you verify that?
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:12.320
You know, you really need to be able to sense check it and make sure that you know it kind of looks like what you expect it to in the areas that you are familiar with.
00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:17.600
So get an expert in a specific area to have a look at the data and say, does this look right to you?
00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:22.000
Intuitiveness is a good thing too, right?
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:22.639
Yeah.
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:25.519
And just experience, like we we say it all the time.
00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:38.240
We we will spend a day on a client's data, and by the end of that day, we'll start to know where things don't look right, numbers might be elevated or lower than they should be, or the description doesn't really tie in with everything else around it.
00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:45.440
So, you know, it's it's a a good skill to have and to use, but definitely.
00:14:46.080 --> 00:15:03.440
So as we uh work together and we become more integrated across the supply chains, and we get that greater visibility and transparency that we all want, is it at the same time making data management more complex?
00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:07.679
Is there more risk in them?
00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:13.360
Um and and something that that I talk about is my data quote.
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:18.480
So making sure your data is consistent, organized, accurate, and then it's trustworthy.
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:21.679
And that C, that consistency is like really important.
00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:28.000
So if you're working with a global data set, is is the language all all uniform?
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:32.000
Are we all using the same units of measure, the same date formats?
00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:50.960
Um, I think sometimes we make it more complicated than it needs to be by not defining standards and and again thinking about what do we need from not just our department or business office or but the company globally, each country, you know.
00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:55.919
Um, and so that's where the problems start to arise.
00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:05.519
And because you there's tools out there that can standardize all that data, but if you still have people inputting and it's wrong, that's not that's always going to be a problem.
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:16.960
So let's say we get to this place where we've simplified data management and um we're looking to through that to amplify our performance, that would be ideal.
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:33.440
But in between the time where it takes to get to that state, uh is that comp is that goal compromised because not everybody is operating from that same foundation that you just mentioned?
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:39.039
Where um and is that going to take more time?
00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:47.600
Like how how long is it gonna take before we're all in that same same place, I'll say, of data nirvana?
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:50.799
Well, that's a whole change management piece.
00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:53.600
Yeah, that's and that's a people problem.
00:16:53.759 --> 00:17:06.799
So I do say data problems are people problems on the whole, and that is because you know, in especially with procurement data and supply chain data, you can have more than one right answer.
00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:09.680
And again, it's about being consistent, having the same thing.
00:17:09.839 --> 00:17:20.400
And if you have two people who are arguing because they're both right, and one is always going to input data as this A, and one is always going to input it as B, then you're gonna have problems.
00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:35.519
So it's about communication, education, um giving them responsibility as well for the data that they're managing and and telling them how it impacts the rest of the business when it's not right.
00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:51.359
Yeah, it absolutely can like hold things up, and and it depends on the type of data, it depends on within the organization, like you know, how important is that piece of part of the data to the rest of the organization?
00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:58.240
You know, if it's I've tried to think of something that wouldn't be important, but uh oh, it's all important.
00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:00.160
I don't know, someone's shoe size, right?
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:18.640
Okay, so you need a shoe size, someone's shoe size for I don't know, uniform or something that that's not gonna be as important as uh categorizing your supplier correctly, giving them the right GL code, um, giving them a correct bank account and head office number, tax ID, those kinds of things.
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:21.759
So, you know, it's gonna depend as well.
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:22.799
Okay.
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:27.119
So I know you know everything, you are the queen of data.
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:33.920
So I want to know, and I want you to share with us is there something going on that we should get excited about?
00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:35.440
Um, what's coming?
00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:45.039
You know, maybe there's a specific program or methodology that's gonna make our lives easier, uh, something you're working on that you want to share.
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:49.839
Well, I mean, I'll start with me because why not?
00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:56.480
But um, I have built a tool called Samification, and at the moment it normalizes supplier names.
00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:04.400
You literally sign into the website, drop your file in, and within anything from 10 minutes to two hours, you get a file back depending on the volume.
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:10.960
Nice, and that's based on a 400,000 supplier master list that we have, so we match everything.
00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:15.519
Anything that doesn't match then goes through a set of rules and our own chat GPT model.
00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:19.759
So it's getting really good, but very exciting.
00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:29.839
Um, in the next few weeks, we're going to start launching an add-on, which is two-level generic classification per supplier, just as uh a bit of information.
00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:47.839
But I know the thing that the procurement are asking for a lot is the parent company information and not from a finance point of view where they need to know like from a risk perspective, but more from a we just need to know who the parent company is so we know who to go to negotiate with at the top level.
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:52.559
So we're going to try to work over the summer and try and build that in as an add-on as well.
00:19:52.799 --> 00:20:02.240
But I think us aside, I think agencai is really gonna take over and dominate in the next 12 months.
00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:09.759
It's already all the events that I go to, people are already talking about it, but I've seen some amazing use cases already.
00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:32.400
And I mean, literally the only thing that's stopping you is your imagination with these things, you know, it can it's gonna really help streamline a lot of processes and take away some of that manual effort of just you know pulling it from this spreadsheet and putting it into this spreadsheet, and then it might make a decision, you know, it can make decisions and things if you put the right information in.
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:40.640
So again, it's all gonna come down to accurate data, but it could truly transform all our lives.
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:43.279
I mean, I'm thinking about how I can use it more in my business.
00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:44.160
Hmm.
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:46.720
That's pretty exciting.
00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:56.000
Uh it's and you know, it's it's super important to stay connected to the people that can share these updates, like yourself.
00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:10.319
Uh I I I guess for uh for anyone um tuning in that um wants to connect with you, if you haven't signed up for Susan's newsletter, you still have that going on, right?
00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:11.359

Okay.
00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:13.680
It's always really chunky as well.
00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:15.359
There's always a lot going on.
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:24.000

And um that's great.
00:21:57.920 --> 00:21:59.680
And I'm so jealous of your offer.
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:03.839
You put mine to shame.
00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:10.640
Oh well, um yeah, but you know, at least at least I'm I'm venturing to guess where you are.
00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:13.680
It's not, it doesn't get to 115 degrees out.
00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:17.759
I don't know what that converts to in Celsius, but let me tell you, it's hot.
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:24.160
Um, it's well, you say that it's actually we're having our hottest day of the year today.
00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:24.799
Really?
00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:27.599
But you guys, you guys have nailed the aircon.
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:32.799
We don't really have aircon here, so like tonight it's going to be sweaty for me.
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:33.680
Really?
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:34.160
Okay.
00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:34.640
Yeah.
00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:37.200
Well, go get yourself a cool beverage.
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:37.920
