The Changing Role of Representative Bodies and Institutes

Change is inevitable but learning from change is an option. Willingness to learn is one of the first lessons that a leader must learn. Get comfortable and get left behind. I propose to outline the main social changes which are taking place and their impact on the Minerals Industry. Also the changing way we do business and what are the skills needed to manage that change and diversity. How are Associations and Institutes responding to this ever changing environment? More specifically, what is my Vision for the Institute to assist professionals to achieve greater and continuing professional excellence in their chosen professions?
