Dear Colleagues-
I happened on this article a few days ago, never having heard of David Crane before. When I read it however, I felt that what he tried to do (& others apparently) in the energy space and failed had a strong alignment with what faces the mining industry. Real change & innovation is seen to be fraught with risk and leaders like Crane who try to go down that path are ‘punished’ by the investors. Whether it deals with gender/race diversity, global climate change or how to meaningfully engage with people in developing countries, the mining industry seldom seems to be even listening let alone being formally engaged in these issues. While the answers to these issues may not be simple, without acknowledgement the issues exist and a preparedness to discuss honestly, we will never even get to “first base” as it is said. And this is a game we can ill afford to lose.
