Last year, I had the pleasure of reviewing the book 'Modern Management in the Global Mining Industry' by the late Robin Adams of CRU Group. I highly recommend this book to anyone in the mining industry in a decision-making role. Read my book review here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1aiLg…

Sources of new ideas: - Extended conversations with others - Reading broadly (new fields) - Detailed (in the weeds) knowledge - Time away from the computer - Things that divide people - Talking with relatively new people to a craft - Traveling - Old ideas/books What about you?

Are you a super-encounterer or a superblocker? Ever noticed people who unintentionally block progress? @exp_radio #recruitment #HumanResources

Just caught up with my former colleague Sergei Diakov. His book on the Discovery of Oyu Tolgoi is now out. An understatement to say this is compulsory reading for all explorers and industrial academics at every level @OTMongolia @AngloAmerican . elsevier.com/books/discovery…

Thanks. The quote comes from Amos Tversky, to his eldest son, before a tragically early death at 59. This message strongly Influenced the way I taught and wrote. If you want people to remember, tell stories.
Started reading “Misbehaving” by @R_Thaler Had to stop and illustrate the first sentence that caught my attention - The Power of #Stories

Our latest #Episode with #JonHronsky on the hidden side of #exploration. Find out about the #inertia usually associated with the #adoption of #novel #ideas in #science and how the #dumbprinciple controls the #malice of #management in large #companies. #Investment #investors xitter.gq/exp_radio/status/10110…
Put a frog into boiling water, and it jumps out immediately. But put a frog in cold water and slowly boil the water, it will not recognise the danger at all. Does this metaphor apply to how we deal with change in science? #podcasts #newepisode traffic.libsyn.com/explorati…

At a recent futures event 'balloon game' we threw out the management consultant as less useful than a handyman. Here's a more considered opinion on least essential future jobs #datascience #programming #futurism #managementconsulting: iftf.org/future-now/article-…
