Elevating Your Impact: From Technical Expert to Strategic GIS Leader

The role of GIS in almost all organizations is evolving from a technical system to an integrative, enterprise-wide capability that provides a unique perspective to solve many business challenges. This half-day workshop is intended to help existing GIS professionals, and those new to GIS in a management position, transition from a technical “What and How” focus on GIS technology to a strategic, value-oriented “Who and Why” mindset around what a GIS can contribute to the organization. The workshop will explore the role of GIS in addressing organizational business needs outside of the traditional “Mapping” view and will provide participants tools and strategies for effectively communicating GIS value to stakeholders.
