Origins and why focus on GIS management?
What is the business need?
What will the GMI do?
What will the GMI do with others?
Why URISA?
Who will use the GMI and why?
How will the GMI operate?
When will this all happen?
Questions and suggestions?
URISA’s GIS Management Institute
URISA’s GIS Management Institute Originated with basic questions: What causes variation in municipal GIS operations?
Why do some GIS operations fail?
Each municipality is unique
City and county business focus often varies
Population
Nature and level of economic development
GIS development history and funding
GIS operational budget and staffing
GIS strategic plan
Municipality’s institutional expectations
GIS operational vision – or lack of vision?
URISA’s GIS Management Institute Originated with basic questions: What causes variation in municipal GIS operations?
Why do some GIS operations fail?
Outcome: URISA’s GIS Capability Maturity Model
Maturity for the model indicates progression of an organization towards GIS capability that maximizes:
Potential for the use of state of the art GIS technology
Commonly recognized quality data
Organizational best practices appropriate for municipal business use
The Municipal GIS Capability Maturity Model assumes two broad areas of GIS operational development:
Enabling capability
Execution process ability
See: URISA Proposes a Local Government GIS Capability Maturity Model: http://www.esri.com/news/arcnews/winter1011articles/urisa-proposes.html
URISA’s GIS Management Institute
Originated with basic questions:
Is there a GIS profession?
2010 -URISA Commits to Develop Tier 9: The Geospatial Management Competency Model
URISA GMCM Core Team: David DiBiase Patrick Kennelly Greg Babinski
Coordination with USDOLETA URISA’s GMCM delivered to DOLETA June 8, 2012

URISA’s GIS Management Institute Originated with basic questions: Is there a GIS profession? What is the GIS Profession’s Moral Imperative? Does GIS provide value to society?
Is There a GIS Profession: ArcNews, Summer 2012: Strengthening the GIS Profession, by David DiBiase What is the Moral Imperative of the GIS Profession?
The GIS profession uses geographic theory, spatial analysis, and geospatial technology to help society manage the Earth’s finite
space, with its natural resources and communities, on a just and sustainable basis for the benefit of humanity.
Does GIS Provide Value to Society? ArcNews, Summer 2012: King County Documents ROI of GIS (minimum $776 million net benefit over 18 years, $87 million in 2010) http://www.esri.com/news/arcnews/index.html
GIS operations are maturing – or they should be
GIS operations manage large capital investments
GIS operations require large operating budgets
GIS operations deliver huge returns on investment
Local agency leaders and managers have a moral imperative to deploy GIS for effective government services
Geospatial technology is complex, continues to evolve, and continues to provide new opportunities
The management of municipal GIS operations is complex, evolving, and requires a scientific, professional approach
URISA’s GIS Management Institute What is the Business Need?
Is GIS management distinct from other types of municipal management?
The management of GIS requires knowledge skills and abilities that set it apart from and above many other management domains, due to its complexity, importance for effective services, and integrative role in local government enterprise operations.
The notion that GIS operations should be under the supervision of licensed engineers or surveyors (as some have suggested) is laughable.

The Ah-ha Moment:
GIS operational process maturity (aka the GIS Capability Maturity Model)
and
GIS management capability (aka the Geospatial Management Competency Model)
Can both best be defined against a body of geospatial management best practices and standards, or the GIS
Management Body of Knowledge
URISA’s GIS Management Institute What is the Business Need?
Develop the URISA GIS Management Body of Knowledge (GMBOK)
Maintain the URISA Geospatial Management Competency Model (GMCM)
Maintain the URISA GIS Capability Maturity Model (GCMM)
Accredit the capability and maturity of county, city, and regional GIS operations against the GCMM
Accredit GIS Management educational programs for alignment with the URISA GMBOK and GMCM
URISA’s GIS Management Institute What will the URISA GIS Management
Institute do?
Include an advisory council from other geospatial management professional stakeholders
Include international stakeholders
Advance the future certification of GIS Managers, via a GISP-M, developed by GISCI in coordination with URISA’s GMI and based on the GMCM
URISA’s GIS Management Institute
What will the GMI do with others?
URISA developed and launched GISCI
URISA developed and manages GISCorps
URISA has 50 years of study, experience & intellectual capital related to GIS development and management
URISA has a portfolio of publications and educational offerings, including the ULA, that can be aligned to support GIS management
URISA has a history of 31 years of ESIG awards that form an initial resource for recognizing GIS management best practices
URISA has designated the development of the GIS Management Institute as a priority initiative
URISA’s GIS Management Institute Why URISA?
URISA’s GIS Management Institute Who will use the GMI, and why?
Babinski’s Theory of GIS Management: As GIS Operational Maturity Improves, ROI Increases
GIS Managers – to assess their competency against the GMCM and GMBOK and plan their professional development
Organizations with GIS Operations – to assess their capability and process maturity by becoming GMI accredited against the GMBOK via the GCMM
Geospatial professionals – to assess and align their own practices against the GMBOK
GIS management educational programs – to assess and refine their curriculum by becoming GMI accredited against the GMBOK, GMCM & GCMM
GIS management consultants – to assess and refine their practices against the GMBOK, GMCM & GCMM
In the future, GIS managers will use GMI products and services to prepare for achieving GISCI administered GISP-M
