Change is inevitable but learning from change is an
option. Willingness to learn is one of the first lessons that a leader must
learn. Get comfortable and get left behind. I propose to outline the main social
changes which are taking place and their impact on the Minerals Industry. Also
the changing way we do business and what are the skills needed to manage that
change and diversity. How are Associations and Institutes responding to this
ever changing environment? More specifically, what is my Vision for the
Institute to assist professionals to achieve greater and continuing professional
excellence in their chosen professions?
