  2. NGS Staffing • Significant decline in FTES in past 12 years, and prior • Targeted hiring to fill programmatic gaps identified in 10 year plan

  3. Levels of Planning at NGS Customers’ Needs NGS Mission Customer Review and Validation Ten Year Plan What we aspire to do and the results we anticipate.

Annual Operating Plan Projects Activities Budget The level of specificity and detail increases with each level of plan.

  4. Draft NGS Strategic Plan (5 Years)

Modernize the 3-D Geometric Reference System* Evolve Infrastructure HOW WE ARE GOING TO GET THERE Evolve Infrastructure Cultural  Change Increase Agency Visibility Modernize the Geopotential (“Vertical”) Datum Customer Focused Outcome Driven Expand Models & Tools Integrated and Collaborative Organization Evolve Core Capabilities Migrate the Coastal Mapping Program Build Outside Capacity

  6. What Have We Been Doing for the Last 10 Years? PSC We’ve been putting the pieces together and building on past efforts for over a decade Convocations and Leadership Summits Workforce Management Team Workforce/ Outsourcing Plan NGS Decision Making Structure ESC Geodesy What Lies Ahead Succession Planning Leadership Development Efforts One Piece Missing!

  7. Some Outcomes On Which We Need to Focus • Coastal Inundation • Droughts • Earthquakes • Floods • Human & Ecosystem Health • Hurricanes • Landslide and Debris Flow • Tornados • Tsunamis • Volcanoes • Heat Waves • Technological Disasters • Wild Fires • Winter Storms

  8. Emergency Managers Planners and Developers Insurance Industry Agricultural Industry Construction Industry Environmental Engineers Coastal Managers Local governments Tribal governments International Organizations Academia Professional Organizations Private Sector Foreign Counterparts Some Customers We Need to Listen to and Work With

  9. How do we getstakeholder input? • ACSM AAGS Government Program Committee • ESRI NGS Special Interest Meeting • National Association of Counties • National Association of County Surveyors County Scorecard web survey • National Association of County Engineers County Scorecard web survey planned for FY09 • Web Requests for Input • Strategic Plan • Suggestion Box Button • ForeSee Pop Ups • NGS Products and Services Committee • Requires Customer Input before finalizing new products and services • Geomatics Industry Assn. of America/ American Congress on Surveying and Mapping/NGS Joint Meeting

  10. It is not enough to just provide the infrastructure, models and tools. We need to listen to our customers to derive the appropriate models and tools. We then need to work with our customers to build outside capacity so we can accomplish the desired outcome together.

  11. Meeting Future Needs Requires CULTURAL CHANGE Evolve YOUR Infrastructure to Decrease Resources Required to Maintain and Operate Professional Standards & Practice Professional Education Spatial Information Management Construction Economics and Management Enhance Models and Tools for YOURSELF and OTHERS Hydrography Spatial Planning & Development Build Outside Capacity so OTHERS use YOUR Infrastructure, Models and Tools. Positioning and Measurement Valuation and the Management of Real Estate Engineering Surveys Cadastre & Land Management

  12. How Can We Make This Happen? • Help shape geospatial policy by creating national and international policy together • Work together with other disciplines to achieve agreed upon outcomes • Retrain workforce from being the “doers” to being the teachers and trainers • Set goals and actions that require collaboration with other organizations to achieve a common outcome • Develop cross-discipline activities that will achieve agreed upon outcomes • Develop mechanisms for cost-sharing and leveraging funds
