A podcast?<\/h3>\n

Esri has great technical documentation on how to use GIS technology to do things: analyze data, make maps, build experiences, tell stories, and bring all of this together into Hubs. The Engagement Matters<\/em> podcast will help guide you in the practical implementation of these things. Each episode, we\u2019ll hear experts from a variety of fields talk about their engagement and collaboration efforts while they also share their engagement tips and tricks.<\/p>\n

\u2026and a companion blog!<\/h3>\n

We\u2019ll also have a companion blog post for each episode which will summarize the conversation and help you reference specific nuggets of wisdom in the future (after you’ve listened to the audio of course). It\u2019ll also be helpful for those of you that need to share an episode with a colleague or for people that learn better by reading than listening.<\/p>\n

Why you should subscribe<\/h3>\n

Most of us work in roles where we have to derive meaning from data. Maybe that takes the form of a hotspot map that shows areas across a city where issues are concentrated. Maybe it\u2019s a graph that shows trends over time. No matter what kind of work that you do, there\u2019s a good chance that it requires input from other people. Engagement is a two-way conversation between you and the groups of stakeholders that you collaborate with. Coworkers, customers, constituents, or anyone else that might be impacted by the work that you do can be your \u201ccommunity.\u201d Many of us have more than one community that we interact with. Regardless of how you define your community, making positive change in the world is directly tied to how effectively you can communicate and collaborate with these groups. You\u2019re probably already doing some kind of engagement, but just don\u2019t realize it. The guests on Engagement Matters<\/em> will share relatable and real examples of projects they\u2019ve worked on, things they\u2019ve done to collaborate with people, and ways that they continually engage their communities over time.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"sidebar","content":"
