 Hello, thank you for stopping by to consider Location Intelligence for Business. LaCourse looks at the application of core geospatial thinking and geospatial technologies, which by the way have a long legacy in real estate retail and logistics. Now recent advances in geospatial intelligence methods and technologies now support a wide range of new applications in these and many other industry sectors. And let me just make a note here that when I speak about business, there's two types of businesses, businesses that use money to make more money, and businesses that use money to deliver social services. So this course uncovers and explores the key principles involved in geodemographics, psychographics, segmentation, site selection, market analysis, risk and crisis management logistics. And we delve into the essential steps and methods employed to solve these problems with available geospatial tools and data at the appropriate scale. And when you say at the appropriate scale, it could be within a store, within a community, within a county, within a state, within a nation, or even globally. So the course really provides a foundation for geospatial intelligence thinking and business settings and is a basis subsequent geospatial analysis education. You'll engage with concepts through a number of hands-on lab activities followed by group discussions and personal reflections. And you'll have an opportunity to apply these techniques and these methods throughout the term and crescendo with a term project, though that you work in a team, and the team and you will have an interest in, in fact, the project. You'll design that and craft that to your liking. Now you may ask, do I need a background in geography and geospatial information systems? Yes, it's helpful, but not necessary. We have a lot of non-geographers who enjoy the course and we will utilize various software applications that are relatively straightforward and easy to follow. The key here is to get the underpinnings of the geospatial technologies and principles. Look forward to seeing you in Location Intelligence for Business.
