The challenges facing mining enterprises today are pushing leaders to abandon the traditional ways of thinking about their business to discover and explore new practices that will improve the business of mining. The future of the mining enterprise is characterized in all aspects of the business, from improving people and leaders, to engaging new business models and processes, to employing new techniques in developing insight, knowledge and working remotely. Most of all, the mine of the future is smarter. It responds to change faster. It is agile and flexible. Leaders looking to establish their own vision for the future must begin first by taking a critical – and sometimes painful – look inward to their own operations. Understanding their own priorities and matching them with newer practices and ideas can result in a re-imagined mining business that is both best in class and competitively differentiated. The true beginning of this change starts with an energized conversation about the future.
