Do Social Licence, Safety, Innovation & Operational targets keep you awake at night?
Harnessing stability (TOC) and agility (Cynefin) to deliver
Social license and safety have absorbed a lot of attention & billions of dollars yet the return on investment for this effort remains poor. Drawing on the experience of increasing the productivity of over 90 mines worldwide, this workshop will describe 3 myths holding back mining and other businesses. It will highlight the need to understand the Ecological Age we now operate in. In today’s environment, operations require both Stability + Agility. Our recent articles with Austmine
highlighted the 3 myths and explained that radical innovation is essential to disrupt and overcome them. "Radical" does not necessarily mean painful or time-consuming; it means being aware the world has changed radically and adopting an approach that is aligned to this new environment. You can choose to stay abreast of 21st-century thinking or fall further behind.
Hendrik will share an alternative to traditional ways of working that can increase productivity and profit, as it has in over 90 mine interventions worldwide. Our 29 August Webinar dealt with this topic in detail. It provides Stability that frees up resources and time for management to pursue Agility: Stability+Agility. Gary will explain how Agility can be achieved - the ability to renew, adapt, and change quickly in an uncertain and turbulent environment. This is essential when dealing with the complex subjects of Social License and Safety.
