Q&A Leading Digital Transformation
Q&A with McKinsey’s Richard Sellschop
A mining company that wants to transform its operations through digital adoption has to stop equating the work with past capital acquisitions, says Richard Sellschop, partner at McKinsey.
He warns that digital work should be looked at as a holistic transformation as it’s not just about the technical implementation.
“If you’re building a new pump station, you can put that on a Gantt chart and understand exactly what needs to be done: how much concrete needs to be poured and what day,” says Sellschop, who was interviewed at PDAC 2018 in March.
“It’s a bit different in digital because you’re figuring out user requirements as you go. You are developing more of an embedded solution within the organization. There’s a bit more of a journey of discovery.”
McKinsey is a consultant to the mining sector. Its MineLens service benchmarks miner productivity against industry peers.
