Developed upon a foundation of geographic theory

Enabled by the development of computing and information technology

Built upon digital data with location attributes

Aided by allied geospatial technology

Turned into a viable business support tool by geospatial software

Move away from GIS as a standalone piece of software

Growing societal awareness of geospatial power

Current State of the Geospatial

Revolution

Geospatial technology has been proven beyond question as a key tool for effective government administration and business processes.

Geospatial technology has become ubiquitous within private industry, agriculture, research, academics, and for use by citizens.

A growing body research proves that geospatial technology delivers significant financial return on investment.

URISA GIS Management Institute® (GMI)

Helps organizations identify and implement enterprise GIS management practice improvements.

GIS operations, anywhere in the world, will increase return on investment and maximize the effective use of GIS for their enterprise business goals with GMI products and services.

URISA received GIS Management Institute Charter from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in 2013.

GIS Management Institute® Business Need

Core Purpose The GMI core strategy is to help those who deploy, operate, and manage

GIS operations enhance their personal competency, and improve the effectiveness and ROI from their investment in GIS.

Professional Practice Standards GIS professionals and practitioners invest considerable time and money

for their initial education and continual training, yet recognized professional practice standards and guidelines are lacking in the GIS profession.

Investment Validation and Enhancement Public agencies and private entities have invested very large sums of

money to develop and operate their enterprise GIS and program specific GIS operations, yet best-practices and investment validation for GIS operations are both lacking.

GIS Management Institute® GMI Core Products and Services

Two Existing Key Products The Geospatial Management Competency Model (GMCM) for

managers

The GIS Capability Maturity Model. (GISCMM) for GIS organizations

o In addition a GMI Glossary has been developed to support GMI services.

Future Key Product The GIS Management Body of Knowledge (GMBOK) will be a third

key product of the GMI.

GMBOK Creation Volunteers

The GMI will mobilize volunteer GIS professionals (to be called GMI Associates) to create the GMBOK, comprised of individual GIS Best Practices.

Existing Frameworks

The GMBOK will be developed by starting with frameworks that have already been developed by URISA, such as the GMCM and the GISCMM.

Topics Topics for individual GIS Management Best Practices will be developed from the 23

capability and 22 maturity components of the GISCMM.

Each topic will include a narrative of the best practice, a policy template, recommended metrics, a description of required professional competencies to support the best practice, and recommended learning objectives to inform the development of a curriculum to teach the best practice.
