President of Woodfield Consulting to Present at GisWorx in Dubai

The first, A Practical Guide to Showing the Value of GIS in a Business Case, will focus on oodfield’s proprietary model, R-V-I, or Returns Values and Impacts, and how its holistic enterprise approach overcomes the weaknesses in current ROI-only measurement schemes.

The second, How GIS Builds a Base for Business Intelligence, CRM, Asset Management and Work Management, will focus on strategies to prepare systems, applications and people for complex knowledge sharing by first implementing the GIS. This in turn paves the way and cleans the data that later becomes the base for the other applications.

Says Duffy,” In I/T, and subsequently in GIS/CRM/AM/WM and BI strategy, it is critical to determine how and by whom the outcomes, or knowledge, of these applications will impact the daily work of employees and ultimately the customer.”

He adds, “In the Middle East, the term “workshop” can mean different things. In this case it is more of an Executive Briefing, lasting less than two hours, in which one puts forth their view, explains what they mean and proves its value. It can be challenging for sure, but I look forward to it.”
