• A lack of talented and motivated people in the organisation

• A lack of cross-business communication

• An absence of business and senior leadership in digital and sustainability strategies , formulation , and execution

• Poor change control and lag

• A lack of skills and expertise to realise the digital and sustainability strategies

Being a futurist , it is my prediction that digitalised and sustainable business models will rapidly become the new norm in the mining sector . Industries that do not constantly learn and adapt will fall behind and miss out on important commercial opportunities .

Over time , this translates into missed profits , and threatens company survival . Therefore , now is the time to think !
