Spatial Solutions Adoption Models Top down: Leaders implement, lead and promote the adoption of tools and techniques. Identify small number of "seed" groups; encourage enthusiasts and early adopters. Bottom up: Employees start engaging GIS to advance their jobs (…provide platforms then let organic adoption grab hold). Inside out (variation of “bottom up”): GIS tools are adopted internally first and their usage spills over into external space used by citizens, partners, customers, detractors, etc. Outside in: The adoption of GIS by the citizens progresses to a point where the organization can no longer ignore it. 4 United States Department of Agriculture Stephen Lowe Geospatial Information Officer Office of the Chief Information Officer
