I attended the AGI Chorley Day on Tuesday. This was a review of the receommendations of the Chorley Report of 1987, 20 years on. Some have been enacted but sadly some have made little progress. Of more interest to me perhaps was the looking through a geographic window into the future. So much is changing and so quickly all driven by the inexorable march of technology.
And we at the AGI need to ensure that we are not a barrier to change but that we continue to reinvent ourselves to ensure that we are here and are relevant 20 years from now.
About Me
- Alan
- New Barnet, Herts, United Kingdom
- I am the Chief Operating Officer and also the Head of Finance at the Association for Geographic Information (AGI) in London. I know about Finance. I don't know so much about Geography - I came here from the world of the Arts. But I think it is important that the finance guy in any organisation knows a bit about what that organisation does, and why. I have had no formal education in the world of geography but am developing an interest in the issues facing geographers and the benefits which geography can bring in so many walks of life. I need to learn more about geography and the current issues in GI. This blog will follow my process of education and record my reactions to a wide range of events all relating to geography in its widest sense. I hope visitors will find the blog to be of interest. Be prepared to follow me through my learning curve. It may be a bumpy ride!
