  1. A Nation wide GIS Training Project Background, Scope, Tasks, Project Organisation and Performance

  2. Performance

  3. The Three Phases

  4. Phase 1 • To meet the politicians and senior officials • One day seminars within each county – different performance - feed back meetings • 12 queries about GIS • The benefit of utilising GIS • How to manage a GIS effort • How to use what’s already done • To initiate the local development process • Initiate the creation of a GIS strategy • Identify key persons • Get along from where you are – don’t necessarily start at box No 1 • Create a local plan for GIS activities • Plan for comprehensive GIS training

  5. Phase 1 (contd.) • To cooperate • The regional GIS association • Universities and colleges • Between two or more cities • Lessons learned • Information material • Centrally produced • Published on internet for wide use • Centrally executed lecturer training • Central lecturer pool

  6. Phase 1 Costs & Benefits Develope systematically Quicker Pay back Technical solutions Killer apps Contents... Vision What is GIS? Coordination & standards Why GIS? Endurance Test apps How to continue

  7. Phase 2 • Skills to establish GIS – GIO training • Create regional human networks • Prepare Phase 3 • Start (initiate) local implementation processes

  8. Phase 2 (contd.) • Target Group • GIOs • Members of human GIS networks • GIS enthusiasts and key persons

  9. Phase 2 (contd.) • The GIO (Geographic Information Officer) – who is that? • The coordinator of the GIS-activities • Transforms stategic visions to working applications • Masters GIS projects • Monitors the technical development and what’s going on • Is the GIS teacher (lecturer) and informer • Represents the organisation externally concerning GIS issues • Is responsible for enterprisewide applications and data • Proposes GIS activities • Reports to the general management • Is the master of the human GIS network

  10. Phase 2 (contd.) • The GIO has • IT-knowledge focusing on GIS • Knowledge about geo data base management • Knowledge about the own organisation and its activities • Knowledge about project and strategy work • Knowledge about activity and information analysis processes • Good teaching and information skills • Knowledge about project economy and investment analysis • Knowledge about legal aspects concerning GIS • Basic map skills • Understanding about the strategic importance of the information within the own organisation • A personal network within the GIS domain

  11. Phase 2 (contd.) • The GIO is • Enthusiastic and inspiring • A good coach • As good comunicating with the general management as with the end users • Result oriented • Structured • A good organiser • Flexible • Interested in the options of technology • A good teacher • Creative • A good member of a personal network

  12. Phase 2 (contd.) • Objectives for Phase 2 • Comprehensive knowledge about GIS • Skill as GIS Implementation project manager • Skill as a good teacher • Knowledge about data and data management • Ability to be a GIS purchaser

  13. Phase 2 (contd.) • Education seminars • Initial seminar in conjunction with the end of Phase 1 • Three segments with, in total, 16 topics • Strategies and planning • Implementing GIS • Running and maintaining GIS • 11 seminar days – period of 6 months • 5 weeks GIS class at a univeristy college

  14. Phase 2 (contd.) • Segment – Strategies and planning • To create and establish a GIS strategy (1 day) • To establish a human GIS network (1/2 day) • To transform the GIS strategy to action plans and activity programs (1 day) • The activity analysis (1/2 day) • GIS economy (1/2 day)

  15. Phase 2 (contd.) • Segment – implementing GIS • To train the own organisation (1/2 day) • To create basic geo data sets (1 day) • Activities in a GIS project (1/2 day) • To inform about development of GIS within the own organisation (1/2 day) • To manage an implementation project (1/2 day)

  16. Phase 2 (contd.) • Segment – Running and maintaining GIS • Standards affecting GIS (1/2 day) • PilotGIS de facto-standard for societal planning (1 day) • Data provision and data management (1 day) • Technical platforms (1 day) • GIS on Internet and Intranet (1/2 day) • Legal aspects on GIS (1/2 day)

  17. Phase 2 (contd.) • Training material produced by 10 authors – all GIS experts – management focused • Topic text (15 – 25 pages) OH-slides, teacher’s manual, training cases, litterature reference list • Published on internet (website), possible to download and print

  18. Task to the regions concerning Phase 2 • Identify the target group – deploy individuals • Establish cooperation teams • Prepare and execute the training seminars • Put priority on the GIS univeristy class training • Create networks for the continued efforts • Give additional information to politicians and senior officials • Coordinate planning for Phase 3 • Initiate local implementation processes

  19. Local implementation processes • A draft to a GIS strategy • Ensure support from the top management • Establish a GIS network • Prepare for Phase 3 • Create education programs • Purchase GIS software • Create a data provision concept

  20. Phase 3 • Objectives • Basic GIS knowledge • Knowledge about how GIS can be utilised within the own organisation • Knowledge about the local GIS organisation • Knowledge about geographic data and data use • Basic skill to use GIS

  21. Components in Phase 3 Locally pro-duced mate-rial GIS strategy Training plan Basic GIS training course GIOs and inter-nal instructors 16 training course components 12 queries about GIS

  22. Phase 3 (contd.) • Local Training planning • Identify target groups • Investigate the need for training and status of existing skills • Streamline the training to the specific organisational needs • Do the training • Ensure funding

  23. Tasks to the regions concerning Phase 3 • Be encouraging • Support the small cities • Coordinate local training activities • Take responsibility for funding local training activities • Monitor and collect feed back

  24. Internet-concept Viewer Thematic maps GIS trial apps www. lst.se/ strategis Training documentation Killer apps www-links Discussion forum

  25. What is OGIS ? StrateGIS • An easy-to use GIS viewer. Basicly developed for users • within the regional government. Has proved to reduce the process time for dealing with different tasks. Can be used for viewing maps with huge amounts of data. • Proved Cost/benefit 1:4 • Web-klient, developed in MapObjects/VisualBasic • Presently used by 17 regional govenments • Support, marketing, development: ESRI Sweden/LandFocus
