Recruiting Lead at McKinsey & Company

Can AI drive the next ‘step-change’ in mining productivity? QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey gathered industry experts in Perth, Australia to explore this question and many others at the inaugural Rewiring Data and AI in Mining Summit. Inspired by the insights and “signature moves” from the book ‘Rewired’, the summit focused on unlocking new efficiencies and driving sustainable growth through innovation. Four key themes came through the presentations and panels: 1. Successful digital transformations are business-led – Technology shouldn’t be implemented for its own sake but align with the business's goals and challenges. 2. Mining needs a new approach to agility and capabilities – Effective and sustained digital transformation requires new capabilities, via upskilling and new talent. 3. Get the technology and data building blocks in place – Modern mining businesses are awash with data, mostly in disparate databases with limited out-of-the-box interoperability. Extracting and “federating” this data, and using modern platforms is a key step along the digital journey. 4. Don’t underestimate the scale of change management – as guest speaker and “Rewired” co-author Kate Smaje put it, “Every AI transformation is, at its heart, a people transformation”.
