2. Agenda Review WROC Program status Local Projects Statewide Project
Summary
While time is of the essence, we believe the pieces are in place for an historic partnership in the State.
We see several key components to your 2010 effort: It will be multi-participant, substantial in scale, and primarily funded by local governments.
A large, multi-participant consortium equals cost savings, sharing of data, and other benefits that make it worth your trouble. But it does take effort and it does take leadership.
In our opinion, meeting the needs of the individual counties, municipalities, and other core partners – which will provide the majority of the funding – will be the essence of WROC’s success. These entities have invested heavily in their land information systems to form the backbone of our state’s geospatial data infrastructure. Decades of past experience in working with these entities provides our team with unique knowledge of their histories and a deep understanding of their individual issues. As we mentioned earlier, time is of the essence. We will hit the ground running with targeted project designs, quickly moving the individual partners forward towards a successful consortium effort.

4. A project on the scale of the 2010 WROC requires a staff with tremendous management experience. The program manager, senior advisors, and project managers assembled for the Ayres Associates/Aero-Metric team provide a wealth of knowledge and management insight. Most of these team members have built their careers in the geospatial industry by working with Wisconsin entities. They are motivated to see the land information community of Wisconsin benefit from such an important endeavor as the 2010 WROC.
We intend to meet your needs and the needs of each consortium participant using a program management approach led by myself, Kirk Contrucci. I am a certified photogrammetrist with 25 years of experience in the industry, including 21 years of experience in program and project management. For more than 15 years, I have played a role in facilitating consortium projects in Wisconsin and in other areas of the country, including Michigan, Illinois, Florida, and Georgia. I served as the program manager for consortium programs in Wisconsin in 1995, 1997, 2000, 2003, and In addition to my experience in leading consortium projects, I have also worked with our team members on previous ventures, so I have the trust and support required to ensure that production can be coordinated smoothly. I will be responsible for all report documentation and will make sure that it is provided to the RPCs in an efficient and timely manner.
I will be supported by an unparalleled group of senior advisors – several who have built their careers with the Wisconsin GIS community. This group of individuals brings a vast amount of experience and expertise in leading large-scale mapping and imagery projects, including multi-participant mapping consortia. They are Frederick Halfen, CP; Terry Keating, PhD, PE; Patrick Olson, CP, PE; and Jeff Stroub, CP. These individuals bring firsthand knowledge of the Wisconsin GIS community, statewide mapping programs, and around three decades of experience each. This group of seasoned professionals also brings a substantial network of contacts throughout Wisconsin and the nation. They will play a key role in exploring and securing funding for your 2010 program.
Perhaps as importantly, partnership building and successful projects require “boots on the ground.” There is simply no replacement for personalized and responsive client service. As we’ve learned in our previous experiences, building the participation and successfully completing the projects of individual partners requires many hours of meetings and presentations to town, municipal, county, and other partners. Our team is prepared to offer you a full compliment of in-state project managers to reach out and serve each partner, helping to ensure their participation and contributing to a successful completion of their individual projects. Why spend time educating your consultant when that time could be better spent designing and implementing a strategy to bring in project partners? Surely, time spent building a new relationship with a consultant could be better spent building relationships that can bring funding to your endeavor. In addition, once we have secured the projects, our team’s program and project manager’s extensive knowledge of the status and key issues of local governments and other partners throughout the state will be of tremendous benefit to the consortium in designing and completing successful projects for all its participants.
