Theory of GIS Management: As GIS Operational Maturity Improves, ROI Increases
Should we build bridges between islands of GIS?
Should we build bridges between islands of GIS?
URISA’s GIS Management InstituteEnhancing GIS Operational Effectiveness & ROI
2014 GMI GIS Metric Survey found a negative correlation between agency size and GIS resources with number of GIS user support provided R=(-)0.2652)
How should we build bridges between islands of GIS?
Within a model-based framework? • If not, how?
In an environment that supports process sharing to identify and refine best-practices?• If we do not share our practices, how can we develop best-
practices?
With an understanding of the metrics that differentiate us?• If not, how can we analyze and understand variations?
In an environment that supports critical analysis?• If we are not open to critique, how can we progress?
Discussion Ideas for Next Steps
ACCIS-like GIS managers’ listserv
GIS managers’ searchable online repository of GIS operational policies, procedures, architecture, metrics, etc.
