Establishing and Maintaining a Social Licence to Operate in Mining   Summary   The social licence exists when a project has the ongoing approval of the local community and other stakeholders. It is rooted in the beliefs, perceptions and opinions held by the local population and other stakeholders about the project. It is therefore dynamic and non-permanent, but contrary to many people's perception, very measureable. This course focuses on the strategic management of socio-political risk and unpacks the original mining industry meaning of the social license metaphor in a way that makes it a practical management tool.

Who Should Attend?   The course is aimed at any and all managers who deal with stakeholders and their issues. This includes geologists, land and mineral rights managers, contract and compensation managers, community relations managers, environmental specialists, purchasing managers, compliance officers, health and safety specialists, human resource officers, investor relations managers, communications officers, and project general managers.
