Developing the next generation of talent
Great to attend Esri’s annual conference in London today to reconnect with the UK geospatial community — 2500 people! Some key takeaways: This last point really needs addressing. As people move through their careers, how are they going to succeed at being GIS team members, managers, leaders, collaborators or influencers?

As usual, a fabulous group of people – which makes me wonder: What will the geospatial industry look like when more women are in leadership positions across different sectors? When voices from all backgrounds are represented at every level? Today’s groupContinue reading “Women in leadership”
