The disruption of business models through the advancement of digital technology has been a reality for other industries for many years. Digital is now impacting the mining industry, technology has advanced such that the barriers of high cost of entry, and a very physical value chain are no longer protection against large scale disruption.

In this report we explore:

  • Why digital is now a reality for mining
  • What the future might look like and what is possible
  • How mining organizations can take steps to protect themselves from disruption and falling behind the industry or new entrants, while also protecting against poor investments or failure, through:
     
  • Developing a digital strategy and proactively managing digital transformation
     
  • Automating operations and digitizing assets
     
  • Building a “digital mine nerve centre” for data-driven planning, control, and decision-making
     
  • Implementing supporting platforms and enablers
     
  • Leading a diverse, distributed, and connected workforce.
