“Efficiency is doing the thing right. Effectiveness is doing the right thing.” Peter Drucker
According to a PWC assessment released earlier this year, "… improved performance will continue in 2018, as companies continue to reap the benefits of the upswing in the mining cycle". However, they also flag the inevitability of rising costs!
Half way through 2018 and we are already seeing rising cost pressures from oil & labour related activities. It is easy to get lulled into a sense of comfort when commodity prices and demand are high.

If we wish to maximise current opportunities then it is imperative to keep a tight controlling hand on costs.
Technology Unlocks the Power of Information
Today it is necessary that the organisation can adapt to change quickly and effectively. Part of this is being able to quickly review and assess the impact of day to day operational decisions to manage change and to ensure planned outcomes are being achieved.
Decisions must be underpinned by a clear understanding of costs and drivers and they must be driven by outcomes that are both planned and measurable. In order to assess the effectiveness of outcomes, access to timely and accurate information is essential.
The ability to support these requirements is heavily dependent on the technology available to the organisation. An easy to use yet comprehensive tool set accessible to all cost owners is essential to provide a clear picture of the efficiency of operational outcomes. Ultimately timely and accurate information is the key to sustainable cost reduction and margin improvement.
