The natural resources sector is being transformed by societal, regulatory, technological and competitive pressures, mandating the implementation of meaningful initiatives with defined sustainability goals. This helps foster the creation and rapid implementation of new technologies, such as electrification, use of renewable energy, sensors, automation & digitalization. New collaborative models are being created between companies, at times with government support, to help speed up the development and implementation of good ideas. This technological avalanche involves and requires the participation by people from many disciplines and age groups, novices and veterans. Innovative collaborative models will also be required at the human-to-human level. If the transition is not equitable, those negatively affected will seek to oppose it. What could or should be done to help ensure a transition is as equitable as possible? What are the implications, especially for younger people? What happens to the existing work force?
