ABSTRACT

We would be well advised to remember what Baghai, Coley, and White stated in The Alchemy of Growth,

GIS governance refers to all of the processes and actions that are required to manage the planning, design, implementation, and ongoing maintenance of GIS technology. Governance is integrated throughout all of the components of GIS. GIS governance is the management of an integrated solution that serves an entire organization by offering levels of geospatial functionality, uniform standards, good management, reliable digital data and databases,

workflow procedures, training education and knowledge transfer, and a backbone for architecture and infrastructure.
