Two team members are at odds over geological modeling software. How can you help them find common ground?
Differences over geological modeling software can disrupt team dynamics. To bridge the divide:
- Facilitate a discussion focusing on project goals, aligning both parties on common objectives.
- Evaluate both software options objectively, considering features, usability, and support.
- Suggest a trial period for each option, allowing data and user experience to guide the final decision.

Here are a few ways to help the team members find common ground: Understand their perspectives: Ask each team member to explain their reasons for preferring their chosen software. Identify key features: Determine the critical features each team member values in the software. Look for compromises: Explore if there's a way to combine the strengths of both software and find a new option that meets their shared needs. Facilitate a discussion: Create a neutral space for open communication and compromise.

The majority of geologists today work implicitly and through scripts. There are countless platforms available on the market and it is up to each user to choose the one they find easiest and most agile. What is still needed, and is often necessary, are the platforms that still preserve the ways of working explicitly, which often becomes fundamental in complex geometries. And for all this to work very well, what really counts is good validation of the input data.

Take a Systems Analyist approach using data flow diagrams and find the compatibility of each software program to reach the same objective. The end result may lead to s new software program being design Ed formally team members to use.

Uma questão que acho importante é voce entender quais são as opções de entrada, validação e manipulação da base de dados para que, de maneira implicita e utilizando as conexoes e tratamentos internos no software, voce possa honrar seus dados e a geometria conhecida e mapeada em campo. Tenho certeza que com seu domínio da geologia e as ferramentas ágeis e de fácil manipulação, o sucesso é garantido!

Creating focus groups to trial the different modelling softwares with the aim of selecting the software that fits what is in the field or in our case the ore body underground.

Levels of knowledge and experiences amongst the team in most times turn out in such, however understanding the perspectives into each side and training through the same data set on the model will open minds and unearth factors and lead them to understanding. Secondly geological modeling has proving factors that have to meet the criteria for a model and have to pass the parametric test.Both sides could have equally met these criteria. An Independent person with verse knowledge and experience into modeling after going through the data and modeling will come out with what the teams did not consider in their modeling. It is not wrong for teams to disagree, it calls for further research and learning and a source of education.
