Planning a GISWho should plan a GIS?

• GIS Management Team

• Senior Management Engaged- Approval and funding

- Engaged in process (weekly updates)

• Business Representatives- Information product descriptions

- User requirements collection

• GIS Planning Specialist/Consultant

If you decide to hire a consultant, make sure he or she is committed to creating a custom GIS plan for your organization. You don’t want someone who simply recycles the same reports and design specifications. The best way to make sure you’re hiring a consultant

who is worth the cost is to ask for references and check them personally.
