Strategic Planning for Statewide GIS Coordination Geospatial Collaboration & Coordination  December 2008

Outline Governance of Geospatial Resources Why is GIS Coordination Necessary? A Strategic Plan for GIS Coordination What we want from the CIO Council

“Geospatial Resources refers to more than technology. It includes people (knowledge experts), policies and processes, spatial data, web services, maps, standards, data models, applications, workflows, location dependent business rules, information management discipline, and records management related to spatial understanding and analysis.” Geospatial Resources Source: NASCIO 2008, page 1

Issues Identified Source: NASCIO 2008, page 2 Governed for maximum benefit? Duplicative and redundant investments? Readily available for decisions? Readily available to citizens?

Recommendations Source: NASCIO 2008, page 13 Geospatial domain to state enterprise Ensure standards address geospatial Address security concerns at state level Geospatial data is essential records Strive for enterprise wide licensing

Why is GIS Coordination Necessary? Ranked low nationally…

Why are we lagging?

Provide leadership for coordination of GIS efforts across all levels of government throughout the state. Invest in GIS infrastructure to fully realize the benefits of shared geospatial data and technology. Communicate and educate all concerned about the benefits and capabilities achieved by investments in GIS to support effective decision making. Strategic Goals

Establish a formal framework for successful GIS coordination Create Geospatial Programs Office headed by a GIS Coordinator Create a Geographic Information Council Empower Technical Advisory Committees Programmatic Goals

State Agencies Florida DEP Florida DEM Federal Agencies Federal Geographic Data Committee Professional Organizations FL Urban and Regional Information Systems Association Early Endorsements of the Plan

Partnerships “Building collaborative relationships and governance…ensures that the state plan effectively becomes a statewide plan that is relevant to the needs and incentives of local government as well as state government. Through this approach, state government will derive greater value from its geospatial knowledge base…” Source: NASCIO 2008, page 16

What we want from State CIO Council Members of the Council take this back to your agency heads. Ask for their support, and provide feedback. Council consider an official endorsement of the plan.
