GIS Return on Investment

A URISA Half-Day Workshop
8 am - 12 noon, Wednesday, June 28, 2023

Determining Return on Investment (ROI) is an important task for identifying GIS project and program cost and benefits, securing support and funding, choosing among alternative components and tasks, and evaluating performance. ROI analysis is applicable to all stages of GIS project planning, development, operation, and expansion. Developing the metrics necessary to determine ROI, however, can be a daunting task. This workshop presents principles and methods to accomplish this goal. The workshop covers ROI basics, types of ROI, how to determine costs, how to determine and quantify benefits, categorizing the results, calculating different types of ROI, and interpreting, using, and presenting the results. Hands-on exercises include identifying and documenting costs, identifying and measuring benefits, and putting it together to develop an ROI analysis.
