Geospatial Platform | Managing Partner
Because the Geospatial Platform represents a new business institution, new capabilities will be required to support the new institution. A new body, the Geospatial Platform Managing Partner1, will implement direction, recommend and/or assign resources, and create and track performance metrics for upward reporting for the Platform. The FGDC identified the following roles and responsibilities for the GeoPlatform.gov Managing Partner:
- The focus of the Geospatial Platform Managing Partner needs to be aligned with the mission and vision of the Geospatial Platform as described in the Roadmap and be answerable to the FGDC Steering Committee, its Executive Committee, and ultimately OMB.2
- The Managing Partner is responsible for collecting, and evaluating customer feedback, and providing users with a channel to raise questions or concerns as well as suggestions on how to improve the performance of the Geospatial Platform and its offerings.2
