10:30 am – 11:30 am, Bobcat Room | Joy Hill, Park County Planning and Zoning.

Abstract:

Standing up a collaborative GIS environment for any multi-department organization has its challenges, but establishing cross-department management in local government often comes with unique obstacles. I will highlight some of the obstacles and organization needs and open the floor to discussion about successes and failures others may have encountered in attempting to establish enterprise GIS services.
