6. 6 Salamanders, Deer, and GIS Professionals Part I Distinguishing Characteristics, Unifying Goals, and the Choices we are making at AppGeo Part II Helping our clients to grow, innovate, evolve and succeed Part III Three Parts The Imprint of Our GIS Heritage: What is our evolutionary potential? photo credit: http://experimentexchange.com
7. 7 I. Salamanders, Deer, and GIS Professionals Barton Springs Salamander (Eurycea sosorum) White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) GIS Professional (Carpe geo pro)
8. 8 With Darwin on the mind... • What made us “GIS professionals”? • What are our distinguishing characteristics and unifying goals? • What choices will lead to our professional success vs. decline? Grow + Innovate = Succeed Photo by Matthew Field, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=4210424 Galápagos tortoise How will we “grow, innovate, and succeed?”
9. 9 Goal-Directed Actions Based on Causal Knowledge Grow + Innovate = Success • Goals emanate from needs • Goal-directed actions are aimed towards achieving a particular goal • Knowledge and awareness of cause-and-effect yields better outcomes for solving problems compared to operant conditioning Problem-Solving is an Enabler of Survival VS.
10. 10 Barton Springs Salamander (Eurycea sosorum) • Status: Endangered • Description: Amphibian, 1-2.5”, slender with external gills • Population: Estimated at < 2000 by City of Austin in 1995 • Diet: Tiny aquatic crustaceans (amphipods) • Habitat: Outflows of springs, in water with plants and rocks • Range: Very limited to spring outlets at Barton Springs, Austin • Life Span: About 6 years (based on specimens in captivity) Sources: USF&W, TPWD, Univ. of Texas, City of Austin A fragile future for this amphibian Grow + Innovate = Succeed US Fish & Wildlife Photo
11. 11 White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) • Status: Abundant • Description: Warm-blooded mammal, 3 ft, 100-300 lbs • Population: Over 15 million in US, 4.3 million in TX (estimates) • Diet: Green and woody plants, grasses, nuts, and fruits • Habitat: Mix of forests, croplands, brushy areas, and meadows • Range: US, Canada, Mexico, Central America, South America • Life Span: About 6-12 years Sources: USF&W, TPWD Grow + Innovate = Succeed Texas Parks & Wildlife Department (TPWD) Photo Hunting season opens November 3rd
13. 13 GIS Professional (Carpe Geo Pro) • Status: Abundant, but not nearly as many as there are deer • Description: Subtribe of “homo sapiens” • Population: 500,000 geospatial services jobs in US (BCG estimate, 2012) • Diet: Pizza, beer, salad, a variety of meats (including venison and amphibians), nuts, fruits, vegetables, ice cream, and cookies • Habitat: Basements, offices, backrooms, bar rooms, honky tonks, tents, and under the stars • Range: Global dispersal • Life Span: 70-90 years (based on specimens in captivity) Sources: BCG, NSGIC, Esri UC, GeoRodeo, France, and Texas GIS Forum Grow + Innovate = Succeed Bill Johnson Photo GIS Day Nov. 14th, PostGIS Day Nov. 15th
14. 14 Comments on the Industry Outlook in 2018 • “The GIS industry is heading toward ubiquity, if it hasn’t already reached it.” Susan Smith, Editor of GISCafe • “Those who think that old school GIS with traditional sources will keep them competitive will begin dying.” Chris Tucker, Chairman of the American Geographical Society, Founder of MapStory • “We need to envision the future and participate in creating a geoscience-based foundation for our future. I call it societal GIS.” Jack Dangermond, Esri Founder and President Grow + Innovate = Succeed
15. 15 Distinguishing Characteristics, Unifying Goals, and Choices • We are a diverse amalgamation of different disciplines that have adopted and adapted similar tools and methods in ways that are often unorthodox, collaborative, and antidisciplinary -- this is a distinguishing characteristic • We may study different problem sets, but at some level they are all mappable on sharable geography -- this is a unifying goal • We can use causal knowledge and think about our alternatives, or be conditioned to make programmed decisions without thought of alternatives -- this is a choice Grow + Innovate = Succeed
