BP’s Oil Disaster highlights Time for Change
According to the Wall Street Journal, the ceding of oversight to oil drillers by the Minerals Management Service is a major cause of the BP oil disaster in the Gulf Of Mexico. The report highlights the lack of oversight but it’s difficult to provide oversight without insight. Could that be the reason the Minerals Management Service lacks effective oversight?
Having worked in the mining industry, I know that they are great when it comes to documenting safety and compliance standards but they fall short in being able to measure them.
In their continuing effort to provide a superior product, Apple recently released a new version of their operating system called “Snow Leopard”. Beyond Software is on the verge of releasing a new version of our dataveillance solution called “CheetEye“, a solution designed to “protect with insight”. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results. Mining disasters will continue to happen without oversight and insight. Both take time and money which effect the bottom line or does it really?
