Video Interview · February 2025  View on LinkedIn →

George Hemingway joined ReThink Mining, the flagship innovation initiative of CMIC (Canada Mining Innovation Council), for a video discussion on the challenges and solutions facing mining industry operations. The conversation explored how mining leaders can become trapped in linear mental models, losing sight of the foundational strategic questions that determine long-term performance.

Key Themes from the Conversation

  • How operational pressure pushes mining leadership teams toward reactive, short-term thinking
  • Why the "basics" of strategy and future-orientation often get lost in the day-to-day management of complex operations
  • The role of structured foresight tools, including Stratalis's Futurecasting© methodology, in helping leadership teams step back and think clearly about the future
  • How mining companies can break out of linear planning and build more adaptive, scenario-driven strategic processes
