Training
Prepare Everyone to Extract Insight
GIS users and organizations are rapidly adopting advanced analytics. To ensure users have a solid, skills-based foundation in this, they can take advantage of the following two new courses:
- Spatial Analysis Essentials for ArcGIS—This class is for anyone seeking an introduction to spatial analysis concepts and workflows. Using ArcGIS Pro tools, attendees explore data; tackle a variety of common, real-world analysis projects; and discover automation options to quickly produce reliable information from data.
- Graph Analytics Using ArcGIS Knowledge—This course is ideal for GIS analysts, all-source analysts, intelligence analysts, researchers, data scientists, and others who analyze data stored in multiple formats to find answers to complex questions.
Empower Your Organization with Enterprise GIS
The unprecedented pace of technological change and continually shifting workplace paradigms are creating challenges for individuals and organizations at every level. The good news is that GIS offers valuable tools to help manage change.
When skilled professionals wield data visualization and analysis tools, they can reveal what is changing where, how changes affect operations, and when opportunities for innovation arise. With this insight, leaders gain the clarity and confidence they need to make sound decisions while navigating disruption.
Broad access to GIS data and tools is the key to maximizing these benefits. To support buy-in for expanding geospatial capabilities, the following interactive, one-day workshops are available to GIS managers, program leaders, project teams, and others who want to grow their organizations’ geospatial competencies:
- Communicating and Collaborating for ArcGIS Success
- Building Organizational Agility and Enabling Change in a Geospatial World
- Creating Organizational and Geospatial Resiliency
