Mining & Resources

The cyclical nature of supply and demand dominates the resources industry. It creates the ever-present tension between cost-cutting and growth decisions, pushing the slow (cautious?) organisational wheels towards adaptability and responsiveness. The added complexity of Workplace Health and Safety, Social and Environmental impacts (aspects?) also need to be considered in every decision.


Strategic Directions can give you the information technology insights needed to turn slow into fast, to achieve greater efficiencies, to improve operational and information security, to make better use of big data and predictions, all on the way towards achieving a significant competitive advantage.


A modern mining workforce will need to evolve with new technologies and business models and assist employees to develop new skills along the way.  Our methodology incorporates change management to ensure any digital transformation program is adopted by all stakeholders and delivers value to shareholders.
