  2. GIS Implementation: Focusing Questions • What types of people might be involved in GIS processes? • What happens if implementation succeeds? • What happens if it does not succeed? • What is the typical management response?

  3. GIS and Management Issues • Lack of understanding • Lack of commitment • Fear of change • Organizational structure (inertia) • Poor communication with decision makers • Inadequate staff • Lack of funding

  4. Dealing with Management Issues • Understand the organization • Understand the constraints • Establish a common vision • Estimate real costs • Conduct/commission a feasibility study • Define a conceptual approach • Develop an implementation approach

  5. The Implementation Process • Determine the system requirements • Develop a conceptual design • Project organization • Implementation strategy plan • Physical design • Pilot projects • Redesign

  6. Determine System Requirements • User needs assessment • Evaluate existing products for output • Examine organizational issues

  7. Develop a Conceptual Design • Evaluate data, needs, and available technology • Develop logical structure of the database • Determine accuracy/precision needs

  8. Project Organization • Develop management plan • Identify team members • Develop a timeline for informational purposes

  9. Implementation Strategy Plan • Define the overall approach for implementation • Include acquisition plan • Coordinate application design and development • Identify different resources

  10. Physical Design • Actual detailed database design • System infrastructure design • Network/access planning • Physical space layout • Training facilities?

  11. Pilot Projects • Test the physical design of the system • Allow for refinement of needs • Evaluate overall plan • Spatial subsets and thematic subsets

  12. Redesign • Part of any design process • Evaluate results of pilot project • Update the planning documents as necessary
