Abstract
Your Solution to a Successful ROI-Based Enterprise GIS Strategy
Track: Benefits of GIS
Author(s): Ross Smith
Sustainable Enterprise GIS initiatives are dependent on obtaining organizational buy-in and delivering measurable (ROI) results. This presentation introduces a methodology for quantifying the often elusive tangible benefits of an Enterprise GIS Initiative. This paper will cover how to: (a) develop a ROI-driven Enterprise GIS Strategic Plan (b) establish a financial business case using a diverse set of ROI-based methods to justify geospatial projects (c) obtain buy-in from decision makers and stakeholders; (d) successfully deliver measurable business results from geospatial projects. This presentation is based on the methodology described in the book Business Benefits of GIS: An ROI Approach, co-authored by PA Consulting Group. Participants will also learn how to access to tools, templates, and examples from the book to put the insights gained during this presentation into practice in their own organization.
