Challenger Geomatics shares how innovation changes the value proposition of surveying and mapping.
VP of Innovation Mike Fretwell, Sr. Survey Technologist Mandy Rammer, and Project Managers Matt McAdam and Paul Abday discuss how they’ve been able to apply process automation to streamline project delivery. They share how they’ve successfully developed and implemented standard operating procedures (SOPs), quality management systems like ISO 9001, and continuous improvement in services and processes, and how that impacts their partners and clients. They also delve into change management, their approach for quickly getting to a minimum viable project (MVP) to provide maximum value, and what they see as the ultimate value of surveyors in today’s rapidly changing markets.
