State of Play is the world's most comprehensive and insightful source of knowledge on strategic innovation in the resources industry. Since its inception in 2014, State of Play has become the go-to source for in-depth analysis and expertise in the vast and complex resource sector. MISSION State of Play began as a curiosity project in trying to understand how innovation works at a strategic level within the high-capital, but slow-moving, mining industry. Today, in addition to being an in-depth resource of industry workings, State of Play is recognised as a valuable arena for leaders to engage in dialogue and collaborate. The result is a movement to evolve macro-level insights into plausible solutions that address challenges in the industry ecosystem. EFFECT State of Play’s expansive analysis, coupled with expertise drawn from Slate Advisory, has allowed it to formulate and validate theories based on the data collected from industry sources. As the Industry Survey has grown in importance, it has been used to influence entire ecosystem strategies in Australia, as well as in shaping individual company strategies. We continue to expand our reach and have found significant traction in countries like India and South Africa. PEOPLE People are at the very core of State of Play’s DNA. Because we study how individual actors define and perform their roles within the industry, we believe in fostering an environment of innovation, passion and excellence. Our dedicated team constantly raises the bar in research, analysis and design with each passing year.
