Indiana Geographic Information Office Strategic Plan

In 2021, the IGIO partnered with AppGeo to develop a strategic plan for 2022 - 2027. This plan looks towards the future of geospatial information systems (GIS) and geospatial technologies in Indiana, providing goals and recommendations to keep the GIO and Indiana on the forefront of state government GIS.

Approach

To create the strategic plan, a tested and proven methodology for collecting information from statewide geospatial and leadership communities was used to understand issues and priorities of those leaders and those constituents related to the duties of the IGIO. This information was collected through:

  • Survey
  • Interviews
  • Workshops

After this information was collected, the IGIO worked with AppGeo to review this information within the statutory requirements and historical context of the office to establish realistic opportunities, challenges, strengths, and weaknesses that face the IGIO.

Goals

As a result of the information gathering and understanding of issues and priorities, 4 overarching strategic goals were established with sub goals.

GIO Leadership

The GIO will lead Indiana's  state government geospatial data community, creating policies regarding geospatial data, promoting consistent approaches to data governance, and establishing initiatives that promote the development and use of authoritative statewide spatial information throughout Indiana.
