Resources and Mining

“The distributed nature of mining and natural resource operations can make it challenging for companies to ensure all parts of the business are working cohesively and efficiently, especially when seeking to deliver large-scale change. The companies who can meet this challenge are the ones that will be best positioned for ongoing viability and long-term success.”

Consultants who understand the specific resources and mining sector challenges

Mining and other natural resource operations are often quite geographically distant from business headquarters. This can lead to a very disconnected operations centre, which may not be as useful and value-adding to the organisation as it can be.

As experts in complex transformation, Berkeley is uniquely positioned to help companies in this sector to overcome this challenge and ensure they’re set up for success.

Consulting help to design the right resources and mining operating model

Our consultants can partner with you to design the right target operating model for your business, clarifying the role of the centre and how it works in relation to operations and assets. This will lead to more cohesion around common goals, and increased efficiency and effectiveness.

Resources and mining consultants who can deliver large transformation programmes

A disjointed relationship between the centre and operations can become most apparent when mining and resource companies need to deliver large programmes, whether that be technology implementation or organisational change. As well as overcoming disparate geographies and multiple time zones, a company may also have to contend with structural siloes and cultural differences.

With our expertise in large scale transformation, we can partner with you to help your business units take a successful joined up approach and embed long-lasting change that delivers the desired business benefits.

Resources and mining consultants who act as trusted partners

With our cross-sector experience, we can bring you a fresh perspective and ingenuity to solving your key challenges. Always focused on achieving client outcomes, we can work as trusted partners with your team to turn goals into real results.
