Project Narrative
In writing the report keep in mind the goal of your project under this
category which is to either develop comprehensive business cases for
geo-enabling ten decision-making processes that are common across
Federal programs or to produce a demonstration of integrated,
geo-enabled decision-making across 3 to 5 businesses that serve a
common goal within a given population.
Please include:
- Summary of project activities
- Key accomplishments to date
- How the project is enabling Federal program managers and
associated organizations in the use of geospatial methods to improve
business decision-making.
For the Common Geo-Enabled Business Cases project,
please:
- Identify people with demonstrated expertise in supporting
Federal geo-enabled business practices through their participation in
the project.
- List web-based comprehensive business cases for geo-enabling ten
decision-making processes that are common across Federal programs,
including layman descriptions of the geography and analytics that apply
to critical decisions, and supportive technical descriptions for
program development of geo-analytic capacity aligned with the
Geospatial Profile.
- Provide an electronic organization of geo-enabled business cases
for cross-referencing common elements against base documents. The ten
business cases will represent the potential for geo-enabling businesses
in the Federal government, especially those that have not used
geospatial techniques in the past.
For the Applied Cooperative Geo-Enabled Business Case
project, please:
- Identify people with demonstrated expertise in
supporting Federal geo-enabled business practices through their
participation in the project.
- Describe multi-business integration of geo-enabled
decision-making (3 to 5 businesses) that serves a common goal within a
given population, including specific program effects and the estimated
role of each business in one or more appropriate outcomes.
- List one or more cooperative scholarly publications that report
on the project’s contributions to Federal program strategy (PDF
file).
- A URL link to a web-based demonstration of the process and
results of the project in terms of the affects of geo-enabling like
businesses on common business decision-making.
