State of Play Strategy Volume 5

2021 Mining Industry Survey - Strategy Report

Strategy appears glamorous. It is a game, pitting one entity against the world, conjuring old-school images of grand military planning and execution. In reality it is complex, dynamic, and imperfect. Formulating strategy is a complex combination of organic growth and deliberate decision-making. Today, mining strategists grapple with more complex global markets, rapid technology development, new ways of operating at every stage of the value chain and more external scrutiny than ever before.
