Where location adds value
From government

How to take advantage
Tipping points
Tipping points– in hindsight
Aerial photography
Computers
Web
GPS
Mobile devices
All leading to the datafication of our world
Along that journey – from ..
.. “government only” to significant other (“business”)
.. pins on a map to spatial dashboards
.. business to business, to include business to consumers
.. static data to real-time and ever moving maps
.. working solo, to working in enterprises and ecosystems
.. data scarcity to data abundance
“Maps are
mandatory for
government”
It is hard if not impossible to build and maintain
infrastructures, health systems, cities,
property,.. without the help of GIS
A Living Atlas
Storify the map
Where location adds value
From government
to business
How to take advantage
“Location has
become
omnipresent”
So many social media tools use
location. Whether we realise it, or not
“Maps are
becoming less
optional for
business”
My suspicion: strategic advantages in firms are
less likely to get shared to competing firms
From where assets are
To where they may be build
To why they are there
To where they are now

Editor's Notes

  • #2 A lecture for honour students at RSM.
  • #3 Roughly the topics we intend to discuss.
  • #4 An encouragement to read meaningfull books. And to re-read them after a few years.
  • #5 Just to give you an idea about this sector. More references in the last slide.
  • #6 About the journey spatial technology itself has taken, from the research labs to gov, to business. And a note on the different patterns op adoption / diffusion of the technology.
  • #7 What we tipping points, accelerators points of this sector?
  • #8 Roughly speaking, Ignoring the printing press here.
  • #9 Where the tippings points have helps us to go
  • #11 Topographic maps have a great history
  • #12 The release of the acquired data as open data is still a big boost to the sector
  • #13 They allow for simple apps which we very complicated a decade ago
  • #14 The open data developments have enabled Esri to set up and maintain a living atlas
  • #15 Orgisations register their world
  • #16 Waterboard ensure water safety thanks to GIS
  • #17 Regional government explains policy impact and future scenarios
  • #20 Social media apps by now have a location as a given
  • #22 Very lightweight, the more interestin
  • #23 Hard to imagine Booking.com without location
  • #24 The use diffusion of spatial technologies in businesses is different from governments. Personal use expectations influence the behavior in the firm.
  • #25 site location, customer targeting, and market planning. Lots of opportunity in the curriculum
  • #26 I was able to share more interesting slides during the lecture itself
  • #27 I was able to share more interesting slides during the lecture itself
