—————————————
In this micro-podcast episode of the Do You Know Drones podcast, host Jason San Souci is joined by his partner in life and business, Nicole Corder, the founder and CEO of Drone Ops USA, live from the Commercial UAV Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada. She warns against investing heavily in hardware and software that cannot be used due to a lack of proper strategy or policy. Programs should partner with experts for each link in the chain, with hardware being the final step.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
Focus on "Drones for Good": The industry is doing a poor job of communicating with the general public about the positive uses of drones, which is an area of opportunity.
Support US Manufacturing: Regulations and policy need to be streamlined to support American manufacturers and remain favorable for small businesses, not just large entities.
Strategy Over Tools: When building an enterprise drone program, focus on strategy, policies, and outcomes first, and choose the drone/hardware last.
Avoid Program Failure: Starting a program by investing in hardware before establishing proper policy and strategy can lead to the expensive equipment sitting unused.
