Pathfinders: The Business of GIS with François Laganière

From Economics to Geospatial Strategy

📍 Entrepreneurship Meets GIS

François Laganière didn’t start in GIS—he started in business development. But once he saw the power of geospatial intelligence, he shifted his focus to helping organizations unlock its potential. As a leader at Consortech, François has built a company that bridges the gap between GIS technology and business strategy.

🔹 Helping Leaders See GIS Value – GIS isn’t just about data—it’s about insights that drive action.

🔹 Strategic Thinking in GIS – Brought a business lens to GIS, helping organizations scale and integrate geospatial intelligence.

🔹 People-First Approach – Focused on listening, understanding, and connecting needs to solutions.

🚀 The Future of GIS is Business-Driven

François champions GIS as a critical tool for decision-making, not just a technical specialty. He believes success comes from understanding people first, then technology.

💡 “The most successful GIS strategies start with people—not technology.”
