Organisations in the life sciences industry are not short of AI pilots. The difficulty is turning them into scaled impact. AI creates value when it improves real decisions inside real workflows, supported by the right data foundations, governance, and ownership. In regulated operations, trust and traceability matter as much as model performance. In the second article of our three-part life sciences series, we explore the shift from resilience to intelligence, and what leadership teams need to do differently to move from experimentation to embedded operational value.

Supply chains within the life sciences industry are at a tipping point. Models built for compliance, service and cost efficiency are now under strain as geopolitical fragmentation, policy volatility, and concentrated supply risks reshape the operating environment. Leading organisations are building resilience into network and asset decisions, from modular manufacturing to major capacity investments. Read the first article in our three‑part life sciences mini‑series to explore what resilient design looks like in practice: https://lnkd.in/ebff-sHj #LifeSciences #SupplyChain #Resilience 

On the day two of LogiPharma 2026, Mickail Voyiatzis, CSO of IRIS by Argon & Co, will be leading an engaging demo session focused on how to apply Machine learning for practical forecasting in life sciences. Accurate forecasting is critical in life sciences, not just to protect service levels and market share, but to ensure patients have access to the products they need. Mickail’s session will explore how Machine learning can be applied in a pragmatic way, using a combination of internal and external data to strengthen traditional forecasting approaches and better reflect the realities of the industry. Integrated into existing planning tools and processes, these approaches help demand planners collaborate more effectively, focus on high value decisions, and speed up the forecasting cycle, delivering tangible outcomes such as improved product availability, lower inventory, and faster planning.

Last Friday, Argon & Co was proud to be the Gold Partner for the Global Innovations in Retail 2026: State of the Nation CEO Community Leadership Breakfast hosted by Retail Doctor Group - We Build Transformative Retail Group.   Bringing together some of Australia’s leading retail voices — including Michael Schneider, Jere Calmes, Nicole Sheffield and Angus McDonald — the discussion focused on how retail leaders must evolve to compete in an increasingly data-driven and globally competitive market.   A few themes stood out from the conversation, hosted by Brian Walker:   • Predictive AI is enabling retailers to understand shopping intent and behaviours before orders are even placed • Data creates authority, while physical retail experiences build trust and connection • Retailers must balance modelled network capacity with what stores can truly deliver operationally   Thanks to Retail Doctor Group for bringing together such an insightful conversation with leaders shaping the future of the industry.

Our latest research report, Operations Outlook 2026, explores how the C-suite are navigating the balance between short term caution with the need to build long term resilience. The report highlights where delaying decisions can create hidden costs, from inefficiencies to missed transformation opportunities.

Exploring the next wave of supply chain innovation at ALMAC 2025 This week at the Asian Logistics, Maritime and Aviation Conference (ALMAC), Nelson Chow, Partner at Argon & Co Hong Kong, moderated the Logtech Forum, where leaders discussed how technologies like generative AI, automation, machine learning, IoT and blockchain are reshaping global supply chains. Here are a few key takeaways from the session: 🔸Supply chain as an ecosystem Innovation is powerful, but without shared standards across data, systems and processes, it creates fragmentation. Collaboration, especially through strong public–private partnerships is essential. 🔸Business-driven innovation Technology must deliver measurable ROI. Pilot programs, stage-gate approvals and clear risk mitigation help ensure innovation is both bold and commercially sound. 🔸 Future talent + experienced leaders Pairing students with industry mentors brings together fresh thinking and deep expertise, lifting capability without shifting responsibility. Great insights from an excellent panel: Jan Hoffmann, Global Lead Maritime Transport and Ports The World Bank Ulla Keino, CEO, President, Head of Management Consulting SeaFocus International Supattra Sukarom, Vice President, Group Supply Chain DKSH Mohit Wadhawan, Head, WorldWide Core Print Supply Planning HP #ALMAC #SupplyChainInnovation #Logtech #TechnologyTransformation #SeeRealChange
