IPA Launches New Mining Community of Practice With PM Forum Event in Perth
Independent Project Analysis (IPA) is excited to share that we have launched a new mining industry community of practice—the Mining, Minerals, and Metals Project Management Forum—focused on helping owner companies improve project practices and performance. The kick-off event was hosted by BHP in Perth, Australia on November 11, 2024, and successfully brought together senior leaders from 10 different mining industry companies to exchange ideas and Best Practices.
Featuring a mix of discussion topics currently affecting the mining value chain, the agenda was built around the central theme of The Next Mining Frontier! The Challenges of Thinking Long-Term in a Short Term Project World. Highlights from the meeting included:
- IPA’s comprehensive analysis of the past decade’s performance in mining, minerals, and metals projects
- IPA President Nekkhil Mishra’s thought-provoking discussion on project governance
- Imvelo CEO Sharna Glover’s informative presentation on Unlocking Resource Value Through Innovation
- Insightful shared experiences on joint venture projects from Kalgoorlie Nickel
IPA thanks BHP for graciously hosting the Perth event and all the participants who helped make it a successful and value-adding experience.
IPA will continue fostering this collaborative environment through future in-person events, webinars, and a dedicated newsletter. Members will have the opportunity to regularly meet with and learn from industry peers and receive tangible insights into project performance and key practices that drive success.
