Our Story
The State of Play platform was initiated in 2012 to create a platform to support industry discussion of innovation and performance at a strategic level, macro-level insights into the industry ecosystem, and more effective strategy execution and business design for competitive advantage.
State of Play has undertaken 4 global surveys – 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019. We also released the groundbreaking CEO Insights Report in 2016 and 2018 of interviews with CEOs and Board members from the world’s leading mining companies.
Thank you to the many participants who have participated in our surveys. Your involvement is helping Innovation: State of Play become the leading, independent source of current insights on the mining industry.
What We Do
The State of Play surveys, with their strategic level approach to innovation, enable us to uncover the impediments and success factors driving innovation across the industry supply chain.
Our surveys provide business executives with a health check of how their companies benchmark against their peers. More broadly, it has the potential to position the industry for a strategic shift.
