In today’s episode we chat to Iain Pickard and Richard Shirreff, co-founders of Strategia Worldwide, a company that manages interconnected risks, to protect the value of our clients’ assets covering mining, energy, infrastructure and cyber.

We talk about the biggest risks that mining companies face as we emerge from the current crisis and what mining companies should be thinking about when we emerge successfully from the global pandemic. We look at how mining companies can be more resilient and we cover the security situation that Sahel miners are facing at the moment, drawing upon Richard’s military experience to provide advice on what companies operating there should be doing.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Strategia gave both Iain and Richard the opportunity to bring their considerable military training and experience to the commercial sector.
After the threat of lockdown and the pandemic has subsided, the companies who have acted responsibly will be far more valued by investors, and by potential investors.
It’s not just the plan that matters. The process of planning generates agility. The very act of planning allows you be ready if challenges knock you off-stride.
We need to move away from purely data-driven assurance. It does have its place, and can be extremely invaluable, but we must also seek to develop robust on-the-ground assurance.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Our approach of linking risk and strategy is very relevant’

‘Good ESG performance is going to help long-term success’

‘It’s not the plan that matters - it’s the planning’

‘We need to start recognising the world we live in'
