We're 3 days into the new year, and I have to ask, how are your resolutions going? Lots of New Year's resolutions are focused on getting a new outcome, but in order to get a new outcome, we need new input. It's impossible to achieve new goals without changing your approach. You'll get 2023 results in 2024 if you don't switch things up! For all your work goals, #GetOLi.

Mine Planning Matters Episode #23 - The Many Problems with Optimistic Mine Plans. I'm continuing on with the series of episodes on the greatest crime of all, optimistic mine plans. In this episode I speak about some of the impacts of this crime, ranging from creating a negative culture, to leading to the wrong operational decisions.

As an All Blacks supporter working in the mining industry, Mondays like this are difficult. There's always a Saffa who wants to share a video of Rassie or Siya and talk about how the Boks are the best in the world. This is always quite difficult for us to stomach, even when we lose we still believe we are the best. But today I'm not so sure!!! One of the articles I got today from a Saffa mate had a very simple but telling line in it that I think strikes to the core of how great teams become great. "But it’s not about the objective measurement- it’s about the subjective nature of how SA are obsessed with becoming better." This is like saying that your results aren't coming from your "objective" equipment, roads, environment, orebody and the plant you're operating, they come from your teams "obsession with becoming better" which manifest themselves in better equipment, roads, environment and plant. The team that is obsessed with becoming better, finds ways to make their world better and therefore wins. A few years ago, I read the book "Legacy" which described the way the All Blacks set up their management and leadership behaviours to help them build great people and then get the best out of them to win more games. It seems to me that Rassie has discovered a way to do something similar with the Springboks, whilst the Australians seem to have forgotten how to do this at all. In the mining world, an important part of the quest to get better is the foundational rhythms and routines that a Management System, like a MOS, BPF, BOS, AOM, Wiring etc. etc. provide. At OpsKit we've been building tools to crystalize this out, and make it easier for teams that want to "get better at getting better" to get a good MOS going for them. Have a look at www.opskit.app to find out more or message me and we can find a time to talk.

🚨 Critical issues in Mapanzure! 🌍 Below is a picture of one of several abandoned chrome pits left by previous miners, leaving the area littered with unsightly holes. What role do local chiefs play in ensuring mining returns benefit their areas? What mandatory developments should miners undertake in the regions where their mines are located? Can the government direct investment towards factories for beneficiation in these areas? What can be done to improve the livelihoods of local communities? #SustainableMining #CommunityDevelopment #Reclamation #FutureOfMining #ZimbabweResources #ChromeMining #MiningImpact #CommunityEmpowerment
