At the upcoming GIS Managers Summit, ArcGIS users will be sharing from their experience leveraging GIS across their organizations, and @MarnaMcLain will be sharing about Governance in the City of Austin.
Two key principals of approach to governance for City of Austin, are transparency and collaboration – but how do you apply these principles to your GIS, in an organization of over 1500 users? The answer for Marna is an operating board – a group of stakeholders from levels of the organization, who plan and track GIS initiatives in the organization.
The Geospatial Information Management Operating Board (GIMOB), as they are called, shares important resources, updates, and governance documentation, and enables ongoing lines of communication, in one central site internal to staff at the City of Austin.
