Are you lining your future up in the right direction?
Monday 16 January 2012
Lots of thoughts for the year already underway, with some covering a range of ideas from 'don't cut corners on relative incidentals when the project is significant for you' to 'you can't change your approach if you keep thinking inside the same box'.

Innovation in Your Supply Chain - Symbiotic Supply Chain management
Wednesday 15 February 2012
Potentially the biggest area of untapped competitive advantage (and arguably one of the biggest areas where costs could be reduced) is within supply chains.

Remote Mining poses challenges for Australian Airlines
Monday 6 February 2012
There's a shift underway in the mining industry that will likely catch Australian airlines out if they aren't paying attention - the shift toward 'remote' mining. Remote mining is being pushed by the automation ability across all aspects of current mining technology, which at the basic level, means that fewer humans are needed on site in mines. And that suggests a major challenge for airline companies of all sizes, who've come to rely on the FIFO (fly in and fly out) model of human capability delivery to mines across Australia. The technology advancements are across almost all aspects of mining operations with perhaps just one area (maintenance) still likely to need onsite human capabilities.
