Geospatial FM

This is an overview of geospatial in Kazakhstan with Ainur Rychshanova. We begin with some geography about the country, traditional tea and dress. Ainur then tells us about the country's space agency where she worked as an earth observation analyst. Her enthusiasm for space is clear, she has even witnessed a SpaceX launch at Cape Canaveral and shared videos to prove it! We were then very privileged to hear her efforts with 4 other women to organise GIS Day Kazakhstan last year. It was attended by 300 people. They are planning another in November this year. Ainur is the definition of an over achiever. It was a privilege to hear from her how to demonstrate true motivation in one's career.

THE GEOSPATIAL INDEX

The Geospatial Index is a comprehensive listing of all publicly traded geospatial businesses worldwide. Why? The industry is growing at ~5% annually (after inflation and after adjusting for base rates). This rate varies significantly, however, by sub index. For $480,000 to start, this growth rate is $5,000,000 over a working life. This channel, Bluesky account, newsletter, watchlist and podcast express the view that you are serious about geospatial if you take the view of an investor, venture capitalist or entrepreneur. You are expected to do your own research. This is not a replacement for that. This is not investment advice. Consider it entertainment.

Chris Robson, CEO of Wyvern, tells us about the world’s highest spatial resolution commercially available hyperspectral imaging data from low earth orbit. This is 5.3m resolution, 23 band earth observation solution can detect chemicals from space. We talked about examples like distinguishing fake from real grass and looking for weeds. The latter matters in the case of environmental rehabilitation at sites like abandoned well pads. If there is a government regulation to restore natural species but the oil company let weeds grow over instead, this can be detected from space using Wyvern. This is because hyperspectral imagery enables the detection of different plant species.THE GEOSPATIAL INDEX The Geospatial Index is a comprehensive listing of all publicly traded geospatial businesses worldwide.

Today I am introducing the Indoor Subindex Monthly News Digest. Recently I had the pleasure of doing an episode on The Geospatial Index with Alex, the CEO of Navigine.

Navigine and I have decided to collaborate on a news digest about the industry. Each month, we'll publish a video covering the most interesting customer needs, innovations and news from the Indoor subindex. See this playlist to keep track.

Navigine specializes in providing indoor navigation and asset tracking solutions for a variety of industrial applications. These include manufacturing, logistics, retail, healthcare, and many others. For examples of what they do along with other subindex participants, see this first news digest video. You can also check out their open source Indoor Routing Library SDK.

You may be interested in the slides or spreadsheet shown in the video. Needless to say, please provide corrections or additions to this subindex in the comments.

Linda Stevens is founder of the consultancy Spatial Spirits (https://spatialspirits.com/). She is also a veteran of Esri, where she was Chief Marketing Officer and its first female board member. This is the second episode of a multipart series examining the leadership that she brings to geospatial. This episode is about her observation that the vision for geospatial has become stagnant. In her own words, "somebody smart has to build the next thing that's going to be truly integrative'.

Linda Stevens is founder of the consultancy Spatial Spirits (https://spatialspirits.com/). She is also a veteran of Esri, where she was Chief Marketing Officer and its first female board member. This is the beginning of a multipart series examining the leadership that she brings to geospatial. We begin by working through her marketing playbook. The reason is that in an earlier podcast appearance on Pathfinders (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uozN-maB1Q) she mentioned that Esri dominates the field not due to technology but marketing.

Evidently then this is, at the very least, not something to ignore in planning dominance of geospatial. Points discussed:

1. Education to create an industry to sell into.
2. Personalities/heroes - credibility/proof point from an opinion leader.
3. Celebrate users.
4. Product management - herd the developers in the direction of customer needs.
5. Take it industry by industry.
6. Messaging - be ahead of sales.
7. There is a dance between Leadership, Development and Marketing so as to create a space for Sales to do their work closing deals and bringing intelligence back from the field.
8. Voices for customers, potential customers, markets they want to grow into that don't know they need you yet.
9. Branding includes dressing the part.

Linda differentiates sales from marketing by characterising the former thusly: "Sales has the difficult job of understanding a user's needs, crafting the right solution, bringing all the players together, and winning the business. Then they have to negotiate the details and get the money. Great salespeople love the dance and customer success."

Will Lyon, Developer Relations Engineer at Wherobots, talks about nothing less than producing a digital mind and memory for humanity. It was a very exciting conversation, finally we are into the visionary potential of our industry. Will was an endlessly patient and kind guest. For example, he did some jargon busting at the start to help those of us unfamiliar with planet scale anlytics to understand key concepts for storage and processing at scale. Thank you Will for taking the time to show us all how to deliver on a computing system that will assist our species to live the role of planetary steward.
