The Path From GIS Manager to GIS Leader
Presentation Outline:
The message is that we need to focus on talking to executives about capabilities, like Location Intelligence, instead of technology, like GIS. It introduces the five pillars of Location Intelligence: Strategy, Organization, Technology & Data, Culture and Literacy, as the areas we need to work on, and gives information and resources for each. I present a vision of an executive focused on the strategic implementation of Location Intelligence as a potential career path for GIS leaders, if we can get executives to understand the value and potential of GIS. I give examples of some peers that are working their way to this point.
