GEOSPATIAL DIMENSIONS OF DECISION-MAKING
What's In It For Your Community or Business

and solutions, what they do in selected industries, how they differ, and how to get started.
Questiosn to the panel:
1. How you have evolved your GIS from primary mapping, to GIS analysis, to true decision-support? What are your current hurdles to achieving your goals on this front?
2. What are some innovative tools and approaches that you see that will enhance your ability to solve ‘business’ problems with your GIS more efficiently and consistently?
3. What opportunities do you see on the horizon in terms of data integration, business process integration, web services technologies, or some external force that will facilitate further evolution from “GIS” to Location-enabled Decision Support?
