GIS Management Competency Model (GMCM)
• Specifies 74 essential competencies and 18 competency areas that characterize the work of most successful managers in the geospatial industry.
• The GMCM is an element of the U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration’s (DOLETA’s) Competency Modeling Initiative.

GIS Capability Maturity Model (GISCMM)
• New initiative that is a key component of the GMI• Goals
– Provide a theoretical model of a capable and mature enterprise GIS operation within a designated organization.
– Facilitate discussion amongst GIS managers and the decision makers who deploy and fund GIS about the appropriate components of a capable enterprise GIS and the characteristics of a well-managed GIS that maximizes effectiveness and ROI from a given level of investment.

GISCMM
• GISCMM will provide the framework for assessing and accrediting local agency enterprise GIS operations. This will be a key service provided to the global GIS community by the GMI Accreditation Division.
• URISA will be developing a complete education program to assist organizations with developing the skills to successfully implement the GISCMM.

Opportunities for IGIC
• Volunteers and consultants can participate in URISA workgroups without becoming URISA members.
• Three key areas to consider– GISCorps– Best Practices, Standards and Guidelines
Development– Education

IGIC and GISCorpsMISSION
– To create an inclusive and representative statewide network of response corps members dedicated to:
– Enhancing accessibility to geospatial applications, technologies, and products which assist Emergency Management Practitioners in their decision making process in the event of an emergency.
– Delineating all-hazards emergency management planning, response and assessment considerations.
– Creating a network for professional exchange and access to technical expertise.– Encouraging interactions and collaborative initiatives among those conducting Emergency
Support.– Promoting the standardization of methods to increase the access and the value of data
among many users.OBJECTIVES
– Provide geospatial support in the event additional GIS resources are required to support emergency related missions across Indiana.
– Identify geospatial personnel, technologies, and products that are appropriate for the emergency event.
– Define processes and recommended data sources and technologies to support response and recovery phases of an emergency event.
