Here's how you can promote knowledge sharing and collaboration as a mining engineer.

An accountant friend recently shared the evolution of accounting, from bookkeeping to Excel and now sophisticated ERPs. He noted that basic accounting knowledge and tech savviness are enough to excel in the field. I've been involved in presentations on management software solutions that enhance productivity and decision-making through real-time analytics and collaboration tools. Technology is transforming the industry, and embracing is not an option but a necessity to stay in the game.

In today's digital age, leveraging technology is crucial for enhancing knowledge sharing in mining engineering. Utilizing project management and communication software keeps team members updated and connected. Cloud-based systems facilitate real-time sharing of documents and data, ensuring everyone has access to the latest information. Additionally, conducting training sessions on these tools can promote their adoption and streamline collaboration across various departments and locations, ultimately improving project efficiency and outcomes.

One thing I have found helpful in mining Engineering and the experiencial knowledge have seen ground is that, we you want unspeakable results in all oparations don't rely on graduates only but also put some trust seasoned experienced personnels.....

Promoting knowledge sharing and collaboration in an organization or team can be achieved through a combination of cultural, structural, and technological initiatives. Here are several strategies: 1. Foster a Collaborative Culture Encourage Open Communication Promote transparency and open lines of communication across all levels of the organization. Recognise and Reward Sharing Acknowledge and reward employees . By integrating these strategies, organizations can create a robust environment that promotes knowledge sharing and collaboration, leading to improved innovation, efficiency, and employee engagement. This is only possible with vast amounts of capital investment on long term projects. Start the project at a school age and at home.

As John C. Maxwell puts it "A leader who produces other leaders multiplies their influences." During my MBA studies, I learnt the most impactful leaders are those who place emphasis on coaching. When one spends time transferring knowledge he does not only multiply his skills set but frees time and space to concentrate on higher goals. The more you pull others along by "seeming to be emptying your cup" you feel the urge to refill with high ambitions. I have found this path to be refreshing and very fulfilling. Knowledge transfer should not only be technical skills but equally important is the soft skills that build the character.

Sin bien es cierto, existen las reuniones diarias de coordinación sobre los últimos sucesos que ocurren en la operación minera. Sin embargo, también están las reuniones semanales donde se comparten los resultados del periodo evaluado, así como diferentes perspectivas y experiencias sobre cada proceso. Esto es clave para una correcta integración de todas las áreas que constituyen la minera y la búsqueda constante de la innovación en cada una de las etapas del ciclo minero.

Mentoring senior professionals makes a difference to the development of other team members. However, there are employees who have seniority but lack soft skills such as collaboration and empathy. Systemic thinking in problem-solving also leads people to learn in such a way that they can replicate knowledge and increase their ability to solve future problems.

With today's technology advancements, the mining industry can also imporve their record keeping practices. One nethodthan can be implied, is the use of digital tools to recoed the field data and logs in general. These can be borehole logs, construction records, and type of work that has been done in the field. But, the important thing to consider is that only tools developed for miners should be used for these purpose as the general purpse tools may not provide everything that miners need.

Networking is a big deal when it comes to career growth. It is not just "to whom you know" rather "to who knows you". Having the connection to the right people in one's organisation or in the industry is crucial in leaping to the next level or role. You may have the best skills but it will be a boost in landing your next job when there is someone around the decision table who can vouch for you. The point is getting connected professionally by showcasing your expertise. In one's organisation make your voice count by targeting the right sponsors. Making sure the sponsors see your work. In the industry at large, attending and speaking at professional conferences, webinars etc will draw the spotlight on you.

Je trouve le réseautage très utile dans le domaine minier car cela permet non seulement de rester au contact des nouveaux défis et perspectives du domaine mais aussi de créer des liens très fort entre les professionnels du secteur. Des liens qui vont même au delà du professionnalisme
