Performance influences risk, return, and value.

Most operators obsess over lagging indicators like tonnes, grade, productivity, AISC, etc. but, by the time these numbers land, the battle is already lost.

It's like driving through the rearview mirror.

‍ You can't control the cycle, you can control your site.

The Invisible Engine
Your mining operation relies on two engines. The first is visible: your fleet, your plant, your orebody, etc. The second is the Invisible Engine: your Operational Capability.

Operational Capability is your ability to execute; how well you can leverage all of your resources to achieve a goal.

Most miners only measure the visible assets. This is the root of the Productivity Paradox: investment goes up, but productivity drops because we are only optimising for part of the equation.

The Mining Performance Score (MPS) quantifies your Invisible Engine.

Which Capability level is your site in?

Assessing Operational Performance
Benchmark your site against the 5 Leading Indicators that predict operational success. These are the inputs that determine whether your goals and production targets will be hit, or missed.

‍The 5 Fundamentals of Operational Performance:
1. A Compelling Why: Do you have strategic alignment, or mercenaries
2. Empowering Leadership: Do you have a system of trust, or a bottleneck of micromanagement and individual heroics?
3. Commitment Culture: Does the frontline own the result, or just blindly follow orders?
4. Enabling Tech: Do your tools remove friction, or add administrative burden?
5. Lean Processes: Have you eliminated invisible waste, or are you too busy being busy?

Weakness in any area will compromise execution.

The Operational Performance Framework

Ambition Without Execution Is Expensive
When it comes to achieving strategic goals, your Mining Performance Score is only tells half of the story.

To understand your true risk, we must compare what you can do (Capability) against what you are trying to do (Strategic Ambition)

The Performance Quadrants map the gap between your boardroom goals and your frontline reality. It's an intuitive visualisation of your expectations as an investor or operation.

It answers the question, “are our expectations realistic?”

Ideally, your site scores in the Outperformance quadrant. If it doesn't, are the necessary steps being taken to bridge the gap?

The wider the gap between your ambition and your capability, the greater your Execution Risk.
