Minerals Industry - 5 Year
Outlook
AusIMM sponsored project
Positioning the Minerals industry for the 21st
Century
Does this seem right for New
Zealand?
To
ascertain the industry's perceptions of issues and capacity to address
them:
Industry context and issues
Capabilities of professional
staff
Access to professional staff
Balancing supply and demand
Industry must do
it. Cannot wait for others.

Some
observations...
Negative image - constrains capacity to influence
community and government
Major repositioning of professional staff competencies
required
Existing organisational arrangements and capabilities
are under pressure to change
Difficult to access professional staff of required
capability
Facing significant external challenges - with real
concern about capacity to address them
Prevailing culture not suited to needs of the
future
High level felt need for change
The industry has a
choice
We can define where we want to be and act decisively
Or
We
can respond to the future as it unfolds.
