Its approach to implementing GIS has been ad-hoc and step-by-step and has been led by user activity on specific projects of interest which has taken place without the framework of a council-wide GIS strategy and without the direction and coordination of any GIS steering group but with the support of users who banded together to form the Underground GIS User Movement . Despite the initial lack of any corporate approach the council has been successful in the application of GIS has a number of showcase projects and the case study holds many lessons for those local authorities whose style and culture has encouraged departments to go it alone without the luxury of diverting time .
