Due to their academic nature, most researchers focus on the research and prototype phases, but do not move towards the commercial component of the innovation process.
•Implement technology transfer centers with specialized personnel.
•Encourage research with industrial application.
The context of the current industry is strongly oriented to production and not to the development of new technologies. The stakeholders of the mining ecosystem seek to maintain the status quo and do not operate according to changes.
•Change management within the company through actions that encourage innovation.
There is always a person who happens to be the main source of ideas with potential. But if the company creates a dependence only on the leader to interest clients in innovation projects, whatever happens to that leader will directly affect the new solution.
•Organize Work & Coffee sessions.
•Create work teams focused on innovation.
•Foster teamwork.
In the national mining environment, the error or failure of projects is punished. Consequently, given the risk of failure, there are no incentives to any dynamics of change.
•Generate incentives to take risks.
•Create a Risk Capital to support the innovation project.
•Control management (fail early and at low cost).
•Prioritization of projects (from highest to lowest risk).
