The 2020 Virtual Esri International User Conference starts Monday, July 13, 2020. I hope to virtually meet you there. If you would like to connect, here are some opportunities:
- Incorporating Business Value in Your GIS Strategy - Streaming Live, Tuesday, July 14, 2020, 1:40 PM - 2:40 PM PDT
- Aligning your GIS strategy with your Business goals and objectives will allow you to more effectively address the most pressing needs of your organization. But how do you do that? On top of this, business leaders don’t usually speak in the “language of GIS”, which challenges you to interpret business challenges, and translate them into GIS opportunities. This session will cover strategies for gaining leadership sponsorship, how to determine and measure the business value of your GIS, and considerations for how to communicate that value throughout your organization
- Two On-Demand Sessions:
- Evangelizing GIS
- Getting your workforce to adopt new technology and new workflows requires winning hearts and minds across the organization. Learn how the right communication strategy creates a common vision and momentum to accomplish positive change.
- Communicating the Value of GIS in Your Organization: How to Measure Return on Investment
- Understanding, documenting, and communicating the value GIS brings to your organization can be critical to your success. First, presenting the return on investment (ROI) from your programs’ and projects helps celebrate the success of the departments using GIS. This process oftentimes stimulates ideas across an organization as to the uses of spatial thinking and GIS technology. Secondly, it reinforces the investment in technology, people, and equipment to improve government services. Quantified ROI is good to have on hand during budgeting periods, too. Finally, measuring the real benefits of GIS can act as an accountability tool for yourself. It provides a self-check as to whether your program is in sync with or meeting organizational goals. This session will seek to provide guidance on documenting and reporting the business value of GIS. Topics will include Measuring the benefits of GIS; Calculation methods; Examples of success; and Techniques for communicating success.
