Learning

In an effort to make “Learning” more focused on the specific needs of our membership, we have reviewed our course offerings and launched a completely new programme for the next 12 months. The new programme offers a wider range of course, at more locations, and with more detail provided on each, to help you judge better who to nominate for the course, and the likely benefits to be achieved from it.

Council of the Future

GIS & LLPG strategy and implementation

Client name:

Thurrock Council

The project issues
Development of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the Local Land and Property Gazetteer (LLPG) at Thurrock Council has historically been technology-led with no corporate strategy linked to key Council objectives and goals. From 2002 GIS grew ‘organically’ with little or no senior or middle management support and, once key individuals left the Council, developments, management and projects were not progressed. In particular there was no integrated or co-ordinated approach to GIS and LLPG within and between departments and key business systems were not spatially enabled and so not being utilised to their maximum potential.
