2. Problems a GMA Solves How well is the state doing vs what is the state doing How well is the state doing vs what is the state doing State to state comparisons; national compilation State to state comparisons; national compilation Objective reporting Objective reporting Platform for communication and planning Platform for communication and planning

3. What Are We Talking About? Measures maturity of 7 sections and related sub-items: Measures maturity of 7 sections and related sub-items: – People (e.g., GIO, etc.) – Data (e.g., elevation status) – Processes (e.g., enterprise GIS) – Policy (e.g., intergovernmental coordination) – Strategy (e.g., portfolio mgmt) – Technology (e.g., maps for critical issues) – Legal (e.g., public record laws)

4. What are we talking about? Enhance existing NSGIC State Summaries … Enhance existing NSGIC State Summaries … FABRICATED results; For conceptual purposes only.

5. What are we talking about? … into national compilation + metric cards … into national compilation + metric cards FABRICATED results; For conceptual purposes only.

6. GMA Mission/Vision Mission: Mission: – To create a common, credible assessment methodology to routinely and continuously monitor and validate statewide geospatial capabilities Vision: Vision: – The results of the Annual state Geospatial Maturity Assessments will guide state geospatial investment prioritizations. National compilations are created for national context, visualization and prioritization

7. What is a Maturity Model? A structured collection of elements that describe certain aspects of evolution in an organization A structured collection of elements that describe certain aspects of evolution in an organization A maturity model can be used as a benchmark for assessing different organizations for equivalent comparison * A maturity model can be used as a benchmark for assessing different organizations for equivalent comparison * * Wikipedia

9. GMA Intentions Model for all states (next generation State Summaries) Model for all states (next generation State Summaries) – Supports NSDI – Integrates with State Summaries (Next Gen) – Can be adaptable Base for scorecard and/or actionable items for each item or category Base for scorecard and/or actionable items for each item or category Framework for regional/local governments to leverage Framework for regional/local governments to leverage National compilation National compilation

10. History & Evolution of NSGIC State Summaries 1992-2003: State written reports 1992-2003: State written reports 2004-2005: Reports based on coordination criteria 2004-2005: Reports based on coordination criteria 2006: Online survey (SurveyMonkey) 2006: Online survey (SurveyMonkey) 2007-2009: Online survey (GISInventory) 2007-2009: Online survey (GISInventory) 2010: Beta GMA (still evolving) 2010: Beta GMA (still evolving)

11. Future Vision Statewide GMA becomes compilation of URISA GISCMMs Statewide GMA becomes compilation of URISA GISCMMs “Nest” COGO NSDI Report Card within GMA Data section or visa-versa “Nest” COGO NSDI Report Card within GMA Data section or visa-versa GMAs inform GeoLOB Life Cycle Metrics or visa-versa GMAs inform GeoLOB Life Cycle Metrics or visa-versa Variety of outputs: Variety of outputs: – (Defensible) Dashboard that can be viewed from National to Local level – Reports that categorize information as needed
