Episode 1

The hidden engine in mining and its ripple effect

When you think about productivity in mining, you probably picture big machines, efficient teams, and streamlined supply chains. But what about your data?

In this episode, host Jaimee Nobbs chats with acQuire’s Steve Mundell and Stuart van de Water about why data management is one of the most underrated drivers of productivity in mining. They dig into how even small improvements in how data is collected, shared, and used can make a big impact on everything from safety and compliance to decision-making and stress levels on site.

They also talk about the role company culture plays, how to spot data bottlenecks, and why resilience isn't just about having the right tools, it’s about using them in the right way.

If you're heading to IMARC, keep an ear out - Stu will be diving into this topic even further on stage. You can find him on Wednesday, 22 October at the Continental Mining Innovation Theatre from 1:25 - 1:45 PM AEDT presenting, "The Data Ripple and the Law of Unintended Consequences".
