Getting Started With A Geospatial Strategy Series: Communicating the Value of GIS

Tribal governments were some of the earliest adopters of GIS technology, and it is currently used in road inventories, archaeological site management, economic development projects, analysis and visualization of health information, and everything in between. GIS technology has improved by leaps and bounds in recent years and is fast becoming critical to conducting business effectively. This series will prepare you to have meaningful conversations with your leadership about the power of GIS and how a strong strategy can strengthen the way you do business. Join Esri experts and your peers for this webinar series that will cover everything from building a solid geospatial strategy for your organization to communicating this strategy to decision-makers in your organization.

Aligning your GIS work and initiatives with the vision your leadership has for your organization is critical. To establish or expand support for your GIS work , you need to secure your leadership's sponsorship through effective communication. Therefore, it is vital that you learn how to communicate the value of your program or project as a solution to a problem the executive is interested in solving. To do this, it is best to frame your program or project in one of two ways—either in relation to the leader's vision or the leader's pain.

Join Esri experts in this session to learn how you can speak to leadership about GIS and how it applies to your organization with regard to the following:

• Strategic plans
• Initiatives
• Goals, objectives, policies
• Key performance indicator
