Digital Skills and Literacy for the Future of Mining

Description

Equipping Mining Leaders to Read Data, Evaluate Technology and Govern Digital Investment Mining data is growing faster than most operations can use it. Sensors, fleet systems, condition monitoring and planning platforms generate more information every year, yet the decisions that data is meant to improve are still being made on instinct, on habit, or on a dashboard nobody has interrogated. Technology spend continues to rise while the capability to evaluate it lags behind. Digital transformation is not just an IT issue. It is an executive responsibility. This 2-hour on-demand session gives mining leaders the practical digital literacy to read operational data with confidence, evaluate new technology and vendors on their merits, assess adoption risk in a structured way, and connect digital investment back to strategy and capital allocation — without the vendor hype. Watch at your own pace, anytime. Presenter: Mzwandile Buthelezi Professional Engineer | Managing Director and CEO, Coefficient Engineers Mining Innovation and New Technology Specialist, working across technology deployment, operational readiness and digital transformation in the mining sector. Key Takeaways Practical Data Literacy: Read operational data critically, question what it is actually telling you, and act on it with confidence. Digital Tool and Vendor Awareness: Evaluate platforms and suppliers on capability and fit rather than on the pitch. Technology Risk Evaluation: Assess adoption risk across technical, operational, organisational and financial dimensions before committing. AI and Data Governance: Apply governance principles at board level to manage AI, data quality and accountability risks. Investment Alignment: Connect digital investment to strategy and capital allocation so technology spend can be defended like any other capital decision. Who Should Watch? Executives, Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Reliability Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, and Engineering Technologists working in or supplying the mining sector.
