Now, you have to prepare for its affect on your organization. For organizations that utilized a single department's capabilities of providing data, a GIS can become the driving force that ties your organization together. Where as in the past departments worked autonomously, GIS utilizes the information and capabilities of each department, combining these resources to develop a more detailed and reliable information than ever before. An important role for any manager is to build a bridge between policy makers , their goals , and the technical staff . And the implementation should reflect the importance of existing organizational elements.
Executives have a broad vision.
