Abstract
Watershed Information Technology: Strategic Planning, ArcGIS, and Endangered Species Habitat ConservationTrack: Geographic Information Officer
Author(s): Tom Sly Van Buren
ArcGIS and the Cedar River Watershed Habitat Conservation Plan have turned our GIS shop into an IT unit. These initiatives, and others, like the Cedar River Watershed Education Center and the Employee Voice Survey Action Plan, require us to use leading-edge technology and to discover creative solutions for increasingly complex problems. We are presented with an opportunity to think and act strategically and to make a plan that captures the potential of information technology. Our mission: Derive repeatable information technology solutions that provide a rapid return on information. Our vision: Decision makers will personalize service to establish their objectives and to identify, evaluate, and choose an alternative. This paper provides details on how we intend to successfully implement our strategies and achieve our full potential.
