TCG vs. The Machines: Accepting AI and Chat GPT in spend data classification
LinkedIn
June 14, 2023
What’s that coming over the hill – is it a monster? No, it’s just the 21st century. And whether Sarah Connor likes it or not Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Chat GPT, also known as Generative AI (GenAI) is here to stay. But despite Skynet’s best efforts, it won’t take over, we are certain of that. We can live with it, in fact, even cohabit with it (almost) harmoniously in the spend data classification world, but not before it has been classified and checked by a human.

A Day of Celebration – Takeaways from Women In Data, London
LinkedIn
April 19, 2023

Does your Data have its COAT on?
Tech-Exec Magazine
February 13, 2023
obody likes to be caught out in a storm without a COAT on, so why would you do it? Many think they can take the risk, and then fall ill as the consequence. You might think you can risk getting a cold, but the outcome is likely to be much worse – think in the hospital with hypothermia.
It’s the same with your company data. You might think it’s low risk dirty data, but the reality is that without proper protection your data, and your company, will succumb to exposure from the elements. In this instance, we’re talking financial risk, job loss, business performance, or even fraud.
Don’t risk it. We’re here to help you put your COAT on.
What is Data Classification
Susan Walsh
August 24, 2022
Also known as categorisation to some people, spend data classification is when you categorise or classify your data into a bucket from a taxonomy or a category tree. And, what that does is it helps aggregate/combine your data into organised piles of information...
My name is not Woman - It's Susan and I am a Person
Susan Walsh
July 28, 2022
A person in procurement, a person in data and a person in business. And I am sick and TIRED of being labelled as a ‘woman in’ anything – as are many other women. Recently, a list was released by an organisation that’ll remain nameless of the Top Ten “Influencers” in Data… nine of them were men. And do not get me wrong, were all very credible nominees, but you cannot tell me there weren’t equally as many worthy female data influencers. So, where ARE the women?

The Dangers of Dirty Data
Susan Walsh
July 21, 2022
We all think we know what dirty data is, but it can mean very different things to different people, and depending on who you speak to you could end up with many different definitions. But, at it’s most basic level, dirty data is anything thst’s incorrect.
Within procurement that it could be misspelt vendors, incorrect invoice descriptions, missing product codes, a lack of standard units of measure (e.g. ltr, l, litres), currency issues, duplicate invoices or incorrect/partially classified data.
Dirty data can affect the whole organisation, and we all have an impact on, and responsibility for the data we work with. Accurate data should be everyone’s responsibility, but currently across many organisations data is the sole responsibility of a person or department, and everyone trusts them to make sure the data is accurate.
How many times have you been working with a data set and noticed a small error but not said anything, or just manually corrected something from an automated report, just get it out the door on time. These small errors can filter all the way up to the top of an organisation through reports and dashboards where critical decisions are being made.
Get your COAT, you've pulled (clean data)
Susan Walsh
June 24, 2022
If your data doesn’t have a COAT, there could be a range of bad or costly decisions made which could affect the business performance, financial situation, risk jobs, or even the fate of the company. You wouldn’t go out in freezing temperatures without the appropriate coat and you shouldn’t work with data or make business decisions without the same level of protection – accurate data.
And, just like with coats, there are different levels of quality data services out there. If you buy a cheap jacket, it might not be waterproof or protect you from the elements, it won’t last much longer than one season and you’ll need to buy another the next time winter rolls around again. It’s the same with data – if you don’t invest in good quality service you will end up paying twice as much, if not more, in the long run to fix the earlier mistakes. Don’t be left out in the cold.
Crisps or chips? Does it even matter?
Susan Walsh
June 17, 2022
It does if you're classifying a global data set! This is a challenge I'm helping one of my clients overcome right now.
We have to account for regional variations, define each category classification and make sure that when they want to do global analytics everything is in the same category so they can have true visibility of spend.

Five Things I’ve learned in my five years of business
Susan Walsh
June 06, 2022
Wow. I made it to five whole years, and for me, this is a huge milestone as many don’t get this far. But what a year it’s been. I would say in all honesty it’s probably been the hardest year, and that includes the ones where I couldn’t pay my bills.
It's fun to donate to the D.A.T.A....
Susan Walsh
May 31, 2022
The end of May already, I mean how did that happen??
Before I fill you in on all the shenanigans of this month, let me tell you about something that's more important than me, and let me tell you there are not many things!!
But this is very special, the data community has pulled together in full force to help support the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine caused by war, and affecting millions of lives.
A fantastic bunch of data guys and gals, including my fellow DataIQ 100 recipient Nicola Askham, along with Rob Howes, Lucy Allen, Roisin McCarthy, Dmytro Lugovyi, Bryan Dobson, Christoph Walch, Chris Neale and Pete Youngs have formed D.A.T.A (Data and Tech Aid) and set themselves the ambitious target of buying 10,000 medical kits, worth $1million, and they need your help!!
You might feel unsure how you can contribute, but let me tell you there are several ways.
Firstly, you can head over to https://dataandtechaid.com/ to make a donation. It doesn't have to be a large amount, if every one of my subscribers donated just £1, we'd have nearly £10k to add to the pot. £1 won't even get you a coffee these days!
Secondly, if you want more bang for your buck but still want to help, there's the official D.A.T.A merch store . Why not stock up on some t-shirts for your summer wardrobe, while helping to save lives. Pretty cool, huh?
And finally, why not get your organisation to sponsor? Speak to your marketing department to see if they have any budget to support such a worthy cause. And in return, they'll get great exposure, supported by the data greats of the industry. That's a money can't buy opportunity right there!
So, did you figure out the banner now?
D A T A
Right, let's resume usual service now. What have I been up to this month? What HAVEN'T I been up to!
It started the beginning of the month at the BigID's boat party during the Gartner conference. I met some old friends and new, and had a great time.
Then it was on to chatting to Sarah Barnes Humphrey on Let's Talk Supply Chain. Want to know what we spoke about?
It was then time to head up to London for the DMS Summit, where I was hosting a panel on data democratisation. Again great to see so many people, many whom I knew from Linkedin.
Was that enough? Absolutely not. I then headed up to Edinburgh to have a live session with Brian Booden and George Beaton for The Data Mix (and I also streamed live on LinkedIn). But the most exciting part of the trip was the Prosecco button in my hotel room. I just had to press it and Prosecco would arrive at my door minutes later. That's how you do customer service...
I've also been celebrating a year since my TEDx talk, it's a very personal one but something I'm extremely proud of.
What next? Oh yes, there was the Transform Your Audit Summit where I spoke to Claire Worledge about dirty data.
I did! And I'm a little bit late on April's newsletter but who's counting?? And what an April it was!
I had the pleasure of running rooms at Stackstreams launch festival, spoke at Silicon Brighton's Data Forum meetup, featured in their blog and I was a judge for Onyx data's #dataDNA challenge.
There were around 200 entries and the level of competition made it very hard to judge, but I really enjoyed myself. Congratulations to all the winners
PLUS!! There were podcasts! I spoke to Ema Roloff on why data matters in digital transformation, which you can catch right here.
But there's more!!
It was a real dream come true to appear on the Women in Data podcast and talk about being a visible role model which you can listen to on any of these great platforms

Look after your data COAT!

If you know me, then you should hopefully know by now that your data needs to have its COAT on. It’s a simple and effective method and this principle is applied to all The Classification Guru’s services and your data. But what you might not know is this: your data COAT also needs to be maintained.

They Did What?! Data Horror Stories Revealed
Future of Sourcing
October 25, 2021
We all like a good horror story, especially a data one. It’s like when you pass an accident on the road, you can’t help but slow down to have look, and then you’re thankful it wasn’t you.
Data horror stories are just like that. It gives us comfort to know that we are not the only ones suffering and that there might be people in even worse situations out there. We’re not just going to slow down here though; we’re also going to stop and see what went wrong. That way we can avoid finding ourselves in these situations in the future.
WHAT CAN YOUR PROCUREMENT DATA TELL YOU?
Future of Sourcing
September 28, 2021
You might not realize it yet, but your procurement data can tell you a lot. It’s not just numbers either, it can tell you a story about what is going on within your organization -- and even further afield.
WHAT IS A TAXONOMY, AND SHOULD I BE USING ONE?
Future of Sourcing
August 04, 2021
Data taxonomy is the classification of data into categories and sub-categories. More technically, it provides a unified view of the data in an organization and introduces common terminologies across multiple systems.
Does your Procurement Data have its COAT?

It’s a bit like dating – the more refined the search pool is, the more likely you are to find a match! You wouldn't go searching for ‘the one’ in a nightclub if you prefer the quiet life, you’d have nothing in common. And you shouldn’t work with data or make business decisions without the same level of quality data.

Between the Spreadsheets: Classifying and Fixing Dirty Data
Facet Publishing
September 23, 2021
Dirty data is a problem that costs businesses thousands, if not millions, every year. In organisations large and small across the globe you will hear talk of data quality issues. What you will rarely hear about is the consequences or how to fix it.

The book covers everything from the very basics of data classification to normalisation, taxonomies and presents the author’s proven COAT methodology, helping ensure an organisation’s data is Consistent, Organised, Accurate and Trustworthy. A series of data horror stories outlines what can go wrong in managing data, and if it does, how it can be fixed.
After reading this book, regardless of your level of experience, not only will you be able to work with your data more efficiently, but you will also understand the impact the work you do with it has, and how it affects the rest of the organisation.
Written in an engaging and highly practical manner, Between the Spreadsheets gives readers of all levels a deep understanding of the dangers of dirty data and the confidence and skills to work more efficiently and effectively with it.

Squirro Academy
August 15, 2022
After years of trying to establish visible progression, awareness-raising and diverse employment efforts, there is still a lack of women and female diversification in the tech industry. Two reasons for this are:
a lack of mentors

Lauren and Susan's conversation goes from exploring Susan's passion for data, her classification methodology: COAT and its importance in data fabrics, to her brand success with sexualizing data and the processes associated with it. This conversation is for anyone who is interested in learning about data classification and more importantly for those who want to be part of motioning an industry of inclusion and diversification. Join Susan and Lauren to plant a seed of inspiration.

Digital twins are virtual models designed to accurately reflect a physical object or process. The real-world applications of this are endless - from city planning to construction and decoration, digital twins can help you visualise concepts within spaces with ease. When it comes to processes a digital twin can represent measurements of flows that are difficult to show such as wind direction, or temperature of flows within pipes.
What’s more, the twinned object can be outfitted with sensors and produce performance data that can be applied to the digital copy. This offers a valuable insight into how the physical object will perform in real life.

Vertica: Advanced Analytics is the Future of Data
EM360
March 04, 2022
Advanced analytics is the next step for organisations that want to be at the cutting edge of data analysis. For decades, organisations have been generating reports, primarily documenting 'What happened?' or 'What is happening?'. Essentially, it was once solely about descriptive analytics reporting, until some decided to take it to the next level with diagnostic analytics - i.e. looking at why things happen. Fast forward to more recent years and the evolution of technologies like data lake and warehouse have led to explosive growth in data volume, velocity, and variety and increased the demand for organisations to garner greater insights from data. This is how advanced analytics was born.

Safe Software: The Spatial Data Evolution: Integrating Data
EM360
February 16, 2022
Spatial data, also known as geospatial data, is any data that has information about a location. Upon first thought, many people directly translate this to 'maps', but spatial data is, in fact, so much more: it looks at the environment, business functions, satellite data, drones, 3D modelling, and ophthalmology. With its broad outlook, companies conventionally struggle to grasp the aspects and size of this technology. However, there is a platform on the market that works to support businesses with spatial data, namely from an integration standpoint. Say hello to the Feature Manipulation Engine, or FME for short.

Transform your Audit Summit 2022 London - How Would You Transform Your Audit Team Into Data Leaders?
DataAnalytics Aufina.com
May 16, 2022
Data analytics is recognized today as being essential for making business decisions.
Decisions are also made using data, by governments, institutions and non-profit organizations.
If we are in business, the stakeholders are the shareholders, but also the employees, that want the company to grow and succeed, rather than fall apart, due to a major fraud scandal or corrupt practice that leads the company to generate losses.
If we are a member of the public, we want the decisions to improve general wellbeing and use tax-payer money efficiently.
The role of the auditor is to serve these stakeholders, to make sure that decisions made are within their interests. Since those decisions tend to be based on data, the auditor needs to be able to: 1/ Check the data is complete and accurate. 2/ Check the data is interpreted correctly.
If the auditor cannot do these checks, then they will fail to safeguard their stakeholders.
Today, employees in finance, accounting, marketing, and other areas are all picking up data skills. However, internal audit is often lagging behind, despite recommendations from the IAASB, such as the ISA 240 that states the auditors' responsibility for detecting fraud, or the IIA Chief Executive Dr. Ian Peters MBE, who states in 2017, the following reason for using data analytics in their article: Data Analytics Is It Time To Take The First Step: "Increased effectiveness. Analytics allows for whole population testing instead of random or judgmental sampling, as well as enabling continuous auditing so that internal audit and the business can pick up on emerging trends and themes and be more nimble with their risk monitoring;".
How would you transform your auditors into Data Leaders? Join our summit to learn from experts about what they would do to transform their audit team. You can also pick up the tools that they use or have developed that they feel are essential for this goal.

In this episode, Susan Walsh discusses managing supplier data and how it relates to doing laundry and cleaning your closet. Listen in as she talks about common issues with the upkeep of supplier data, the importance of clear visibility into supplier data, and what’s between the spreadsheets.
NO is an opportunity. NO can mean better things are around the corner. NO doesn't really have to mean no.
Susan, The Classification Guru, has said No to No many times, which has led her (almost always) to better things. Not least her own data business (which she loves).
Let Susan's story help you identify opportunities in your life where you can also say No to No, and build your own resilience. For many, the word ‘no’ is final. It’s a roadblock. A shutdown. The end of the line. But not in the eyes of Susan Walsh. Susan says, ‘say No to No’.
For Susan, no is an opportunity. No can mean better things are around the corner. ‘No’ doesn't really have to mean no.
Throughout her life, there have been many times when Susan - also known as The Classification Guru - has had to say No to No and it's led to better things.
And it is Susan’s hope that in telling you her story, you too will begin to identify opportunities in your life where you can also say No to No, and build your own resilience through a simple determination not to fall down at the first hurdle or turn around at the first roadblock, but to find alternative routes to your end goal.

Tips for cleaning your dirty data. https://youtu.be/t6xgBXHGkCA
We all work with data but we’re not all data people. We must recognize that everybody who interacts with data plays an important part in cleaning and maintaining it so that it is reliable and can be fully exploited by all stakeholders in a business. Of course, we’re not all professionals in that area and it can be quite intimidating to some people.
One common problem is not getting documents to match up because the dates are in different formats (UK vs USA, for example), causing someone to spend ages manually reconciling the different formats.
I see people waste hours or even days on something basic that could have easily been avoided. When dealing with clients, I might see specifications labeled with incorrect measurements like centimeters instead of meters, and a whole host of other errors that are easy to make but can cause the wrong things to be ordered or in the wrong quantity or in the wrong size which can cause huge disruption to the business.

Are you struggling to get reliable insights from your data? Do you know how much you are really spending with one supplier, and on what? Have you got free text descriptions which mean you have multiple versions of the same item, often misspelt and not against the correct GL or categorisation? Or missing product codes?
I bring clarity and accuracy to data and help procurement and data teams work more effectively and efficiently, finding cost savings through spend and time management, supporting better, more informed business decisions, delivering a strong ROI and delivering back to your organisation faster and more cost-effectively than using large consultancies or spend analytics providers.
While most people dread having to classify or cleanse data, I love it! I am hugely passionate about providing clients with accurate and meaningful data, and because I have been doing this for a number of years, I can do this much faster and more accurately than people who might look at their data infrequently.
Many businesses struggle to get accurate spend information because of incorrectly classified data, unclassified data or limited visibility on their spend. Without this, it's difficult to negotiate better rates with suppliers, track KPI's, reduce spend or make good business decisions.
With accurate data, you can do all of this, plus prevent costly mistakes from happening.
