TECH TRENDS
Another way companies adapt is by
employing a business analyst in land to
help managers identify and mitigate data
vulnerabilities by building quality control
queries or adjusting procedures. The business
analyst may report directly to the land administration manager or land manager, or
perhaps the business analyst is from the IT
department. Business analysts would be
tasked with building new enterprise reports
to support land and other customers.
Organizations can improve efficiency,

effectiveness, competitive performance
and talent retention by implementing and
sustaining a set of operational and technological changes across policy, process,
and organization. Utilizing technology
will help highlight exceptions and data
quality issues, reinforce business rules,
and ensure consistent utilization of systems. These objectives can be challenging
for many organizations (Figure 4).
Considering a company's needs not
only today but for tomorrow, and realizing

that the person leading land operations
and/or land administration today may not
be the same person two or three years
from now are important considerations for
growing a company. Turnovers of managers,
landmen and analysts creates vulnerability
in operations and data quality unless careful
thought has gone into a company's definitions of policy, process, organization, and
technology. Leaders should prepare the
company today, so they are not caught off
guard tomorrow.
