Whether you’re an enterprise user with an internal drone team, or a drone service provider serving the enterprise market demand is growing for your services and you need to scale. There’s just one problem:  Can your operations withstand the rapid growth in demand? Can you onboard and train internal or contract pilots fast enough?  Can you ensure that each new client in each new market receives the same high-quality data and services they expect? Can your current operations model sustain doubled or tripled demand? There’s a brutal truth in the adage “a failure to plan is a plan for failure.” So, what has your company done to prepare and how are you sure it will be enough?

In this session, Brendan will break down the 5 key pillars to implementing scalable, interoperable and proficient pilot networks. Whether you’re a drone service provider, or an enterprise user with an internal drone team; successfully and consistently scaling your operations requires the same foresight, planning, and preparation around these 5 key areas.

Students will learn:

  • The high cost of bad data: How minor errors in data capture snowball into expensive problems.
  • Workforce development: The competitive edge held by companies investing in their pilots.
  • Setting the standard: How proficiency minimums protect your business and improve results
  • Take notes: How good recordkeeping limits liability and improves your bottom line.
  • Same tools, Same training, same procedures: How a focus on interoperability simplifies your dispatch workflow and promotes scalability.
