Distinguish between operational, organizational, and societal activities that rely upon geospatial information
Describe the potential benefits of geospatial information in terms of efficiency, effectiveness, and equity
Explain how cost-benefit analyses can be manipulated
Compare and contrast the evaluation of benefits at different scales (e.g., national, regional/state, local)
Identify practical problems in defining and measuring the value of geospatial information in land or other business decisions

Explain how the saying “developing data is the largest single cost of implementing GIS” could be true for an organization that is already collecting data as part of its regular operations
Describe some non-fiduciary barriers to GIS implementation
Summarize what the literature suggests as means for overcoming some of the non-fiduciary barriers to GIS implementation
Outline sources of additional costs associated with development of an enterprise GIS
Outline the categories of costs that an organization should anticipate as it plans to design and implement a GIS
