The GMI Survey
The survey consists of four sections: Organization Information, Readiness, Implementation, and Impact.
Respondents can complete the survey within SurveyMonkey at their own pace, with the application saving the latest entries into the survey as long as the survey is completed from the same IP address.
We encourage respondents to work collaboratively across relevant departments to complete the survey, facilitating the development of a corporate-wide view of your GIS program.
All survey participants will receive a complimentary report comparing themselves to the national average.
Members of the GMI will receive a full report, as well as access to the GMI Benchmarking Tool hosted in Microsoft Power BI. Respondents’ survey answers will not be shared with any third parties.
The 2018 Canadian GMI survey has now closed, but Canadian public sector organizations are still welcome to complete the survey at any time in order to receive a complimentary maturity assessment report. The 2019 Canadian GMI survey will launch next spring.
The 2018 American GMI survey is now open and will close on October 26th. We invite all American public sector organizations to complete the survey. Public sector organizations outside of Canada and the United States are also invited to complete the survey in order to receive a complimentary maturity assessment report.
