TerraLogik’s business is working with clients to help them understand and effectively use accurate geotechnology information to improve their business. We work closely to understand the challenges that are faced on a daily basis when using multi-source data. |
| Our people are expert in a full range of geographic technologies and applications and know how they can be used to assist your decision making and improve your overall operating efficiency. We focus on the operational aspects of your business where small changes can generate big results. Successful companies have come to recognize the most important part of their organization is their people. GIS skills are being recognized as an acute need. The university systems cannot turn out enough graduates to keep up with the market. Yet only 30% of 21-year olds will graduate from university. The knowledge gap is frightening. Young people may have strong technical aptitudes, but their other skills are often inadequate. Salaries are increasing dramatically and the movement from one job to another is speeding up. In this market and competitive economy it simply makes more sense to outsource these requirements to a specialized, focused and proven organization. TerraLogik has recognized the challenge in obtaining, maintaining and motivating the right people. We have established a culture of excellence. Creating or transforming a team to embrace ideals of excellence involves the creation of a supportive environment, with management showing leadership, which allows for each team member to become accountable for their contributions. The art of creating a team that excels is recognizing that a team is a collection of individuals that, according to Complexity Theory, displays emergent behaviors that are greater than the sum of their parts. Coaching and Team Development – provides for mentoring by senior staff or domain experts to other team members to continuously improve their domain knowledge, focusing the team on delivery of results, and removing roadblocks; Daily Team Integration Meetings – provide for instantaneous project status and risk assessment, allow for the distribution of workload, encourage voluntary acceptance of accountability by each team member for delivery of results, and identify any impediments to progress; Participatory Decision Making – provides a framework to frame, make, and analyze decisions that arise throughout the Project Life Cycle; Daily Interaction with Customers – ensures that the project progress, status of anticipated deliverables are communicated to the customer or end user, and that the changing expectations of customers are understood by the project team. TerraLogik focuses on the input of people, be they the client team, management, stakeholders, or the TerraLogik team to create a strong, collaborative, accountable team. |
