Introduction

As a leader in a mid-tier mining operation, you probably have 4 main challenges:
Identify and do more of the stuff that moves the needle
Identify and do less of the stuff that’s getting in the way
Get better use of the existing elements
Being able to quickly ‘move the Titanic’ in response to external factors.
All whilst trying to stand out against your peers when it comes time for your next career move.

Understanding your maturity scores

Maturity models are tools that help businesses assess the current effectiveness of their capabilities and what they need to do next in order to improve their performance.
Typically, organisations will ascend the levels of the continuum from innocence to excellence in sequence, as they become more mature and capable.
Organisational maturity then is simply a measure of
Organisational effectiveness.

Organisational effectiveness and why it matters

Research tells us organisations that meet certain criteria are more successful than ones that don’t.
At FPC, we group these criteria into five categories:
A Powerful Why for People to Rally Behind - The organisation’s purpose, values and beliefs that motivates people beyond money; a driver for continual improvement, allowing it to adapt to changing external forces, such as social or environmental expectations, technological disruption or economic realities.
Empowering Leadership - Authentically leading, directing and motivating the workforce to achieve organisational goals by applying leadership styles appropriate to the maturity of the team members and allocating appropriate autonomy and responsibilities to them. Team members discharge their duties appropriate to their organisational levels, participate in decision-making, which results in increased engagement, commitment and accountability.
A Culture of Commitment - Compliance is hard to sustain, as it must be perpetuated extrinsically. A committed workforce is motivated intrinsically and therefore more engaged, productive, accountable and willing to go the extra mile. This is the other side of the leadership coin.
Technology that is Fit-For-Purpose - Think data and collaboration tools and technologies that enable the desired behaviours, the value chain, management & business processes and promote data-driven decision-making.
Effective Processes & Methodologies - Lean end-to-end business processes, management processes and proven methodologies power the business and provide timeliness, role clarity and reliable results.

Our Effective Organisation is a mental model that ties together many established and well-proven concepts and methodologies into a single, intuitive Body of Knowledge.

Our Effective Organisation Model
⁠
⁠
Having developed this over decades in mining, we use this as our proven reference model, against which gap analyses can lead the way to making a site more viable and attain its full potential and that of its people.

Why does it matter?

The more effective a mine site, the more likely it will survive challenges unique to mining and flourish over the long term.
Every step a team, site or department can move UP the maturity ladder is not only visibly noticeable but also something the entire company feels.

Effective Organisation Element
What does excellence look like?
1
​
Commitment culture
Trust
When assigning work, leaders understand the difference between delegating and abdicating. They take into account the assignee’s level of competence (experience, skills, knowledge) and tools at their disposal, as well as how well they’ve done in the past with similar assignments (performance, reputation, credibility).
Furthermore, they consider the person’s character, in other words their intent (openness, transparency) and integrity (honesty, authenticity)
Most people prioritise the company mission over their own or departmental interest, and related KPIs are aligned.

2
​
Commitment culture
Levels of Work
There is role clarity and most people perform at the level in the organisation that they are meant to (e.g. supervisors supervise, not doing the work of operators, department heads act as the department level, not like superintendents, etc.)
3
​
Commitment culture
Psychological Safety
There is a tangible ‘team spirit’, people feel safe enough to speak up and share the truth with their peers or their boss, even bad news; we don’t ’shoot the messenger’
4
​
Commitment culture
Accountability
The obligation and willingness of individuals to take responsibility for their actions, decisions, and their consequences. It involves acknowledging one's duties, meeting commitments, and being answerable for the outcomes of one's choices and behaviours.
It encompasses several key aspects, including:
Ownership: Accepting and recognising one's role and duties in a particular context or situation.
Transparency: Being open and honest in disclosing information, actions, and intentions, allowing others to assess and evaluate.
Answerability: Being prepared to provide explanations and justifications for one's actions or decisions.
Consequences: Being willing to face the outcomes, both positive and negative, resulting from one's actions or inaction.
Trust: Building confidence and reliability by consistently demonstrating accountability over time.

In organisations, accountability is crucial for fostering trust, promoting ethical behaviour, and achieving desired outcomes.
It helps create a culture where individuals take ownership, meet their commitments, and can be relied upon to deliver results.
Accountability plays a vital role in personal and professional growth, as well as the overall success and effectiveness of teams and organisations.
