16:30 Roundtable Debate Session: Weigh The Benefits Of Utilising Integrated Operations Vs Just Hiring More Staff

Finding the cost effectiveness of Integrated Operations is crucial to getting management buy-in. But some people still debate that maybe it would be more cost effective to just add more staff rather than invest in expensive technologies. Groups will be formed amongst the audience to discuss the key issues around this topical debate.

  • Just how cost effective is IO vs. hiring more staff?
  • Outweighing the risks of IO vs. the human factor
  • Is it simply that old process’ are hard to change?
  • Could we be on our way to entirely man-less operations?

Facilitated by your Chairman.
