INNOVATION
Ideas Generation Workshop
Presented by Damian Connelly,
Director/Principal Consulting Engineer
Mineral Engineering Technical Services Pty Ltd © 2010

Mining Industry
> Conservative industry-resistant to change
> Ideas-Methods & procedures to implement changes
> $$$ Financial managers have a large say where money is spent
> History of innovation has been brilliant
> “We tried that”-been done before
> Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
> Budgets & schedules
> Cyclic Boom or Bust industry

> Creativity is the generation of new ideas
> Great things or inventions start as an idea
> Innovation is the process of transformation of
creative ideas into desired outputs
What Is Creativity & Innovation?

Objectives
> To introduce a new management paradigm: Total Innovation
Management (TIM)
> To increase the awareness about the importance of creativity and
innovation in organisation
> To develop a list of ideas to take forward and develop these

What is TIM?
> “The term Total Innovation Management (TIM) is define as the
innovation synergy among technology, organization and culture
and oriented to building up innovation competence for an
organisation”

Technology Innovations Needed
To Mitigate CO2 Emissions
> More efficient technologies for
energy conversion and utilization
in all end-use sectors
(transportation, industry, buildings,
agriculture; power generation)
> New or improved technologies for
utilizing alternative energy sources
with lower or no GHG emissions
(such as natural gas and
renewables)
> Technologies for CO2 capture and
storage (for large-scale industrial
processes like electric power
generation and fuels production)
