Produced in partnership with Skylogic Research, the Drone Business Case Reference Guide offers enterprise leaders a clear, step-by-step process to analyze, evaluate, and communicate key objectives of a drone program to ensure company-wide adoption. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goldmansachs.com\/insights\/technology-driving-innovation\/drones\/\">2018 report<\/a> from Goldman Sachs, the global drone industry is expected to reach $100 billion by 2020, with businesses&#8211;such as those in utilities, agriculture, construction, oil and gas, and insurance&#8211;and governments expected to spend $13 billion on drones in that same timeframe. But, many enterprise and civil leaders are unsure how to get started. In Skylogic Research\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/ http:\/\/droneanalyst.com\/research\/research-studies\/2018-drone-market-sector-report-purchase\">2018 Drone Market Sector Report<\/a>, business and agencies with existing drone programs were asked what issues they felt were inhibiting further growth of their programs. 25% of respondents said they struggled with proving positive ROI for their program, and nearly 30% indicated they struggled with maintaining internal drone policies and procedures. PrecisionHawk\u2019s Drone Business Case Reference Guide offers solutions for these and other issues, including short and long-term planning, gaining executive buy-in, documenting costs and assessing the business impact, ultimately ensuring that the resulting drone program\u2019s objectives are aligned with the impact on a business\u2019 bottom line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen compared to other technology investments, the\nfinancial and operational barriers to entry for deploying a drone program are\nrelatively low,\u201d said Colin Snow, CEO and founder of Skylogic Research.\n\u201cHowever, our research has shown that business leaders must be able to quantify\nand prove the ROI of a drone program before it has any chance of moving beyond\nthe trial phase. By developing a drone business case before implementation,\ninnovation leaders are able to spell out exactly how they plan to quantify\nsuccess and deliver ROI \u2013 both crucial for the successful adoption of a\ndrone-based technology program.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A successful drone program is one that helps a business\nachieve its overall objectives, such as improving safety, profitability, or\nsustainability. To produce the guide, PrecisionHawk drew on its near\ndecade-long experience in offering enterprise-grade drone services Skylogic\nResearch\u2019s extensive drone application research. The aim: to help leaders\nbetter forecast the benefits of a fully developed drone program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLike any other new technology, the adoption of drones\nacross an organization is dependent on how well they support a business\u2019 goals\nand strategy,\u201d said Kevin Lang, general manager of agriculture at\nPrecisionHawk. \u201cIn addition to determining how to best quantify the ROI of a\nnew drone program, organizations are faced with questions regarding the\nstructure of the program \u2013 do they \u2018build\u2019 using internal resources, \u2018buy\u2019\nservices from external providers, or use a hybrid model? The reality is that\nthere is no \u2018one size fits all\u2019 approach, and the purpose of this guide is to\nhelp businesses identify their right fit and ensure the organization is fully\naligned before execution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The full reference guide, including sample business cases\nand planning frameworks, can be found here: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2zj7vua\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2zj7vua<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PrecisionHawk, Inc. has announced the release of \u2018Making a Successful Business Case for Drone Technology\u2019\u2013 a blueprint for enterprises to develop a successful business case for deploying a drone-based technology program.
