for Geospatial Development Projects

In today's economic climate, establishing the Return on Investment (RoI) in terms senior management understand is even more critical to getting your geospatial project approved.

Geospatial development projects are often dogged by the inability to gain the attention of the Chief Executive and establish a Return on Investment (RoI) that convinces the Chief Financial Officer. In a tough economic climate, it is particularly important that any project that requires investment can show a very rapid return so as not to undermine already tight budgets.

This course introduces a "light touch" approach, providing attendees with a set of tools and techniques that they can take back to their organisations and apply quickly and effectively.

The course is designed for business analysts and project managers faced with the challenge of justifying investment in geospatial technology and projects.

Key Topics

• The concepts and language of business case development;
• How to match geospatial applications with your organisation's key business drivers;
• Modelling techniques to identify the business process changes to improve efficiency;
• Cost and benefit assessment, including measurement principles for "intangible" factors;
• Where to find case studies that provide evidence for Return on Investment on comparable projects;
• Prioritising and evaluating of alternative options;
• Crafting the executive presentation.

Presenters
The course will be delivered by Andrew Coote and Les Rackham. Both have operated at senior management level within both private and public sector organisations and bring with them over 50 years experience of justifying and managing major projects within the geospatial industry. The approach will be informal and interactive with an emphasis on the practical and the sharing of experiences.
