The GIS Engagement Strategy Workgroup is the foundation upon which UC San Diego instantiates resource coordination and governance, data structure, and standards/procedures for a viable GIS weaved for administrative, academic, and community purposes. Striking a balance between securing and sharing data for improvement in planning, modeling, campus operations and maintenance, wayfinding, response, and education.

Align Resource Management and Planning (RMP) GIS focus with the UC San Diego Strategic Plan. Goal 5 of the Strategic Plan, Supportive Infrastructure, is an area in which development, maintenance, and use of GIS can have a direct and significant impact: enabling integrated technologies and process efficiencies. The data and online tools produced by RMP GIS, can peripherally assist meeting Goal 1, providing course work content and opportunities for internships and community scientist involvement. This platform can also assist answering questions in Goal 4, Community Enrichment, measuring of service activities and impact on the community.

The following is a list of tasks this Workgroup should, at a minimum, undertake:

• Provide a forum, predominantly for RMP staff and key allies, to collaborate concerning Geographic Information Systems

• Establish GIS campus organizational structure based on the existing environment: centralized vs decentralized

• Articulate business workflows (at a high level) and delineate critical or useful campus-wide geospatial data layers for those efforts

• Determine audience data needs and level of access, from a practical as well as a security standpoint: internal power users or viewers, UC San Diego community, consultants, and the public

• Identify areas of redundancy or vacuum, and formulate a plan for evolving all geospatial solutions to one source of data

• Prioritize the hierarchy of development and maintenance, responsible parties, how and where layers are stored, and frequency of update

• Generate creative and practicable GIS recommendations and solutions, and understand the efficiency and accuracy impacts, insertion of a GIS solution, may offer

• Adopt/repurpose tools, methodology, training, and resources, targeting identified gaps and opportunities

• Communicate GIS metrics for success: the quality and speed with which regulatory requirements, reports, and analysis are acquitted with GIS use. Reductions in cost and improved constituent satisfaction with accurate ready data proffered

• Inspire innovation within the UC San Diego community

• Engage and assist students through internships and provision of data for pedagogical use
