White Papers
Integro: Building a team of Proactive People
intégro's research desk was launched in 2011 as a way to share our research findings with the wider business audience. the reports tackle leadership issues that concern small, medium, and large companies around the world. it is in working with such a wide array of organization types and sizes that we have discovered the common themes of importance to leaders - no matter where in the world they work: How to create an environment where employees want to come to work and do their best, every day? How to ensure that leaders get the most from their employees - and themselves? How to go beyond engagement and create a team of passionate employees?

Fragomen: Finding the Skills – Still the Issue...
One of the essential issues confronting the resource industry is that there are more planned mining projects than there are people to construct and operate them. As of April 2010, the Australian Government identified 75 advanced major resource projects with a value of $109.6 billion, and 286 less-advanced projects with a value of $249.9 billion. With such significant numbers of projects underway or in the planning stages, pressure on the skilled and semi-skilled workforce will be at its peak for the next 10 years and beyond.
Downer and Hellmann Worldwide Logistics: Strategic Alliance – Logistics and Engineering: The Future of Mining Projects

The mining company would first determine the engineering requirements based on mechanical and electrical capabilities and then as a separate exercise, source a logistics/supply chain provider to transport the capital equipment and materials to site.
