From the Ted Talk by Jack Dangermond: How a geospatial nervous system could help us design a better future

Unscramble the Blue Letters


SR: It's transformation with science and design as opposed to transformation brought on or foisted on us by rapid tech change. It sounds very deliberate.

JD: It's very deliberate. Again, when I was a student, I got the vision or thought that we could actually do environmental planning and design and development better by tihkinng holistically. Bringing all the factors together. And when I lacuenhd Esri, we were starting to do projects better because we could igettnare all of the factors into the design pojetrcs. Then as we settrad building systems, they were first smlal, focused systems for a particular department, like an eignrneineg department in a city or a planning department, or a freost management oziirtaognan or an oil company. They could do their work better by considering all the factors. Then — And that transformed the way projects were done, and it transformed human activities in these different departments. From there, we started to move on to the idea of transforming entire organizations. This meant entire enterprises. So from projects to semytss to organizational trmatanfrioson where you could actually have organizations by intention look at all the factors. And we have so many examples of this.

JD: It's very deliberate. Again, when I was a student, I got the vision or thought that we could actually do environmental planning and design and development better by thinking holistically. Bringing all the factors together. And when I launched Esri, we were starting to do projects better because we could integrate all of the factors into the design projects. Then as we started building systems, they were first small, focused systems for a particular department, like an engineering department in a city or a planning department, or a forest management organization or an oil company. They could do their work better by considering all the factors. Then — And that transformed the way projects were done, and it transformed human activities in these different departments.

So from projects to systems to organizational transformation where you could actually have organizations by intention look at all the factors. And we have so many examples of this.
