 Develop maps that become legal documents
 Has a code of ethics
 Delivers value to society
 Its work is focused on „property‟
 What is its „Moral Imperative‟?
What is the focus of the GIS Profession?
 Ummm…?

KCGIS GIS ROI Study
Scope of Work:
 Literature Review
 Qualitative Interviews (n = 30)
 Quantitative Survey (n = 200)
 Final ROI Report
 Revised Interview/Survey Instruments for future studies
With or without survey methodology:
 How has GIS altered agency output levels?
 Benefits associated with FTE reductions to produce the same (pre-GIS)
level of output
 Benefits associated with enhanced production with the same FTE levels
 Three stage analysis:
 Interview agency heads and key employees to assess the types of
applications and business uses. Interviews were used to build an
employee survey.
 Employees and managers across King County responded to the survey to
record their pre and current (or with vs. without) GIS productivity by
output types.
 Interview and survey results were compiled by output type, agency, and
productivity levels. Results were then monetized.
 Monetized benefits compared to detailed GIS capital O&M,
and end-user costs
KCGIS GIS ROI Study: Methodology
KCGIS GIS ROI Study Results
“The most conservative estimate presented
finds that the use of GIS has produced
approximately $775 million in net benefits
over the eighteen year period from 1992 to
2010….
Thus a reasonable estimate of total gains is
between $180 million and $87 million in
2010.”
KCGIS GIS ROI Study Results
Theoretical basis for cost and benefit calculations
Future Steps:
 Article in ICMA ESRI Press Book of GIS for Elected Officials
 Likely articles by Dr. Zerbe & colleagues in GFR, URISA Journal
 Analyze detailed department results
 Analyze detailed benefits by output type
 Analyze detailed benefits by productivity type
 Tell our bosses - great interest within KC government
 Compare with Twin Cities/Metro GIS Parcel Data ROI study
 Compliment & Inform Multnomah County ROI study
 URISA ROI Workshop development
 Refine methodology
 Encourage/support more studies
KCGIS GIS ROI Study
Questions & Answers:
 At what stage is KCGIS in the total potential business use of GIS?
 Are the KCGIS results „good‟?
 How do we know?
 Do we need similar studies of other large counties?
 What about a single „latitudinal‟ study of 15-20 mid-sized cities in
Washington & Oregon & British Columbia?
 Are government agency officials not now compelled to pursue full
GIS development?

Dr. Costis Toregas at United Nations Conference on GIS - presentation titled
“Geography as a Municipal Asset”
“Geography has always been a major integrative element in municipal
administration. Many points of municipal policy concern are debatable,
but geography can be said to be constant and decisive. The location of a
tree or a city block cannot change, nor be the topic of a debate. For this
reason, the spread of Geographic Information Systems (or GIS) has been
rapid and dramatic in state and local government institutions. “

Is There a GIS Profession?
ArcNews, Summer 2012: Strengthening the GIS Profession, by David
DiBiase
What is the Moral Imperative of the GIS Profession?
The GIS profession uses geographic theory, spatial analysis, and geospatial
technology to help society manage the Earth‟s finite space, with its natural
resources and communities, on a just and sustainable basis for the benefit of
humanity.
Does GIS Provide Value to Society?

 GIS operations are maturing – or they should be
 GIS operations manage large capital investments
 GIS operations require large operating budgets
 GIS is a proven technology for effective municipal administration
(standard of care)
 GIS operations deliver huge returns on investment
 Local agency leaders and managers must deploy GIS for cost-
effective government services (and to comply with the standard of
care)
 Geospatial technology is complex, continues to evolve, and
continues to provide new opportunities
 The management of municipal GIS operations is complex, evolving,
and requires a scientific, professional approach
URISA‟s GIS Management Institute
What is the Business Need?
Is GIS management distinct from other types of municipal
management?
 The management of GIS requires knowledge skills and abilities that set it apart from and
above many other management domains, due to its complexity, importance for effective
services, and integrative role in local government enterprise operations.
 Proposals that GIS operations should be supervised by licensed engineers or surveyors are
not supported by the breadth of knowledge domains required for GIS management.

The Ah-ha Moment:
GIS operational process maturity (aka the GIS
Capability Maturity Model)
and…
GIS management capability (aka the Geospatial
Management Competency Model)
Can both best be defined against…
A body of geospatial management best practices and
standards, or the GIS Management Body of Knowledge
URISA‟s GIS Management Institute
What is the Business Need?
 Develop the URISA GIS Management Body of Knowledge
(GMBOK)
 Maintain the URISA Geospatial Management Competency
Model (GMCM)
 Maintain the URISA GIS Capability Maturity Model
(GCMM)
 Accredit the capability and maturity of county, city, and

 URISA has a history of 31 years of ESIG awards that
form an initial resource for recognizing GIS
management best practices
 URISA has designated the development of the GIS
Management Institute as a priority initiative
URISA‟s GIS Management Institute
Why URISA?
URISA‟s GIS Management Institute
Who will use the GMI, and why?
Babinski’s Theory of GIS Management:
As GIS Operational Maturity Improves, ROI Increases
 GIS Managers – to assess their competency against the GMCM and
GMBOK and plan their professional development
 Organizations with GIS Operations – to assess their capability and
process maturity against peer agencies and by becoming GMI
accredited against the GMBOK via the GCMM
 Geospatial professionals – to assess and align their own practices
against the GMBOK
 GIS management educational programs – to assess and refine their
curriculum by becoming GMI accredited against the GMBOK, GMCM
& GCMM
 GIS management consultants – to assess and refine their practices
against the GMBOK, GMCM & GCMM
 In the future, GIS managers will use GMI products and services to
prepare for achieving a GISP manager designation through GISCI

Many points of municipal policy concern are debatable, but geography can be said to be constant and decisive. The location of a tree or a city block cannot change, nor be the topic of a debate. For this reason, the spread of Geographic Information Systems (or GIS) has been rapid and dramatic in state and local government institutions. “  Microsoft  Boeing  Paccar  Nordstrom's  Amazon  Starbucks  Port of Seattle  Weyerhaeuser  Univ. of Washington  Google  Skype?
