Interview with Jon Wylie

In this episode we chat to Jon Wylie, President of Global Natural Resources for Proudfoot Consulting, a global operational consulting group in the Natural Resources Industry sector focussing on productivity improvement through effective employee engagement, active supervisory skills, and the implementation of real-time, fact-based management behaviours

We talk about how well the mining companies and industries will adapt to this new environment after COVID-19, and how they are preparing for the new normal. We discuss what the new normal may look like, and the future of mining in great depth.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When you’re a region-based company, you miss out on many global opportunities. Proudfoot circumvented this by creating a global model.
• The best practice for consultancies are to be split into two groups: technical and general consultants. This is the general framework most companies are built upon.
• To be an effective consultant, you need to change people’s opinions, and you can only do this truly effectively by influencing.
• A post-COVID world will require much consideration. The employment and economic landscapes are now completely different. In the long term, mining will always have a future. The question is how long it will take to become fully-functional again.
