ULA Session 5 - Putting it all Together: Evaluating Where You Are and Planning Where You're Going
This integrative session will provide the perspective that GIS leaders often find themselves in the middle of GIS situations where they must determine how to move forward effectively. As a GIS leader, you may have been brought in specifically to solve a problem or fix a situation, or you may just be in the middle of the normal GIS life cycle. To help you bring it all together, topics covered include:
Strategic Planning for Program Realignment
- Understand how to use strategic planning tools throughout all phases of a program, including evaluating progress and changing direction.
Situation Assessment
- Ensure that you effectively get to the bottom of a problem and don’t get sidetracked.
Solving Problems and Taking Corrective Action
- Develop your course correction by developing an effective action plan and getting your project back on track.
What to do When Things Go Wrong
- Learn how to react to obstacles effectively and learn lessons from failures as well as successes.
Being Effective: Getting the Job Done and Communicating Success
-Develop the ability to keep your eye on the bottom line and operate effectively in complex situations, including management, political, and ethical challenges.
