Description

In this episode of Voices of Transformation, DPI Executive Director Florence Drummond speaks with Jon Stanton, Chief Executive of the Weir Group. As a global technology provider serving almost all major mines worldwide, Weir brings a unique vantage point on transformation across the mining industry.

Tune in to understand:

• Why different stakeholder groups are at different stages of transformation—and what that means for collective progress. 
• How innovation extends far beyond technology into regulation, capital efficiency, and stakeholder collaboration. 
• Water consumption as a critical, granular challenge requiring system-wide solutions. 
• The "great tsunami" of retiring talent leaving the industry, combined with urgent needs for data scientists, software engineers, and mining engineers. 
• Why mining needs to be braver about its purpose. 

Throughout the conversation, Jon emphasizes that awareness exists across stakeholder groups, but progress requires getting granular. Leaders need to tackle specific challenges, build system-wide thinking, embrace uncertainty and risk, and figure out how to collaborate on connected solutions rather than working in isolated silos.
