After 1,000's of conversations with commercial drone/RPAS/UAV teams, across various industries (mining, utilities, construction, surveying, oil & gas, facility maintenance etc.) - we have identified a glaringly consistent trend and journey that all teams appear to follow.
Starting from the transition of outsourcing their operations, all the way to scaling a highly integrated and sophisticated enterprise wide programme.
What the 5 Stages?
The FlyFreely team have now segmented this journey into 5 stages, to help organisations better understand, diagnose and improve their drone programme's efficiency and ROI to the business.
These stages include:- Starting Out
- Seeking Improvement
- Standardising Operations
- Scaling Operations
- Sustaining Operations
Check out this webinar, as we unpack each of the 5 stages, including that they look like, what the challenges are to be aware of, and what you should be focusing on to help elevate your operations to the next stage.
