Distinguished Lecturer 2023-24
Designing Sustainable Prosperity (DSP)
Lecture Abstract
DSP is a practical and structured method to enable the creation of future sustainable societies. It is a collaborative process with practical steps, where interested parties, including members of the local population, define specific types of enterprises needed to establish the pillars of a future diversified economy. A different way of thinking is required to achieve this. The big shift is to focus on the long-term prosperity of the region rather than the short term. The process begins by embarking on a transformative journey to unlock the true potential of the people and the region by empowering individuals, promoting the right skills, fostering collaboration and responsibly leveraging the region’s strengths. The business cases serve as catalyst for attracting new investors. The mining industry can facilitate the transition to a diversified economy as a basis for a sustainable society.
