T echnology innovation continues to disrupt business at breakneck speeds and State Fish and Wildlife Agencies are not immune to the changing ways they interact with their Customers. Unfortunately few agencies have in-house technical capabilities and even fewer resources to meet the growing technology innovation demands of their Customers.
This interactive workshop provides agency staff with a solid introduction to this technology revolution and provides recommendations to leverage their limited resources to adopt key technology changes that benefit their Customers.

Program Outline—Day 2
Building an Agency Technology Roadmap
As Yogi Berra once said so eloquently, “If you don’t know
where you are going, you might not get there.”
A good map is required for any important journey. Without
one, even the most competent navigator can get lost in the
forest and confused by the noise.
Day 2 of this workshop will focus on identifying the steps re-
quired to catalogue existing and needed technologies and
begin building a Technology Roadmap for the agency of the
future.
