SUMMARY:Career Strategies for Practicing Business Analysts
DESCRIPTION:Most business analysts consider project management and scrum mastering to be the “next step up” in their careers. In this session\, you will learn about all the options available for the next step in your career.\n\nJoin Emal Bariali as he walks you through all your career options and the career strategies you can implement to pursue the option that fits you best.\nKey learnings:\n\nCareer progression is about value\, not about time – Many business analysts make the mistake of continuing to do the same type of work for long periods of time in the hope that\, someday\, they achieve the level of progress they want in their careers.  We’ll discuss this.\nBusiness analysis is much bigger than many expect – We are in a profession that offers us nearly endless opportunities for personal and professional growth. We’ll explore some of these.\nBusiness analysis can be a stepping stone to leap into other professions – Your analysis experience can position you for a few key professions that fall outside of business analysis. We’ll explore some of these.

SUMMARY:BA Roundtable: Cybersecurity\, Operating Models\, Character Crafting and more… with Caroline Beasley\, Mark Cross & Helen Holder

SUMMARY:Navigating the Gap: Hybrid Facilitation with Jamie Champagne [Interactive Workshop]
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This is an interactive 1-hour workshop. Please come prepared to participate\, and please be aware that by attending your voice/audio will be recorded and made available after the event. \n\n\n\nFirst we’re in person. Then we’re completely digital. And now we’re somewhere in the in-between. Leverage the lost art of facilitation in this new frontier where the same principles and results still apply\, and even are expected\, yet can easily be navigated with a tailoring of your approach. \n\n\n\nWho (and where) do you look at?  Can you do group activities when only one person is online?  Or what about when only two people are in person? And what about when the technology isn’t cooperating and your boss expects results at two times the speed with greater results than you did in person just because you’re using technology! \n\n\n\nThis session brings the realities of hybrid work to the presentation with an emphasis on experience.  What does a good hybrid session look and FEEL like? What are the tangible outcomes based on specific\, tactical actions YOU can take to enable OTHERS to enjoy the session and get excited to be participants and not simply remote attendees? When people are bought into not only the work\, but then to the people leading the work\, greater outcomes can be achieved!  The session focuses on your role as the facilitator. What things do you need to setup and prepare before a hybrid session? What are the pitfalls and controls that you need to maintain during a hybrid session? And even what do you do after a hybrid session so that your time and energy continue to deliver value in all their efforts? This gives you the facilitators guide to hybrid meetings and workshops so you can enable teams to produce quality results! \n\n\n\nAnd so to get the most value out of the session\, come prepared to interact and engage! Bring your situations and questions to be addressed live in this collaborative experience where you will not only get to see\, but also experience\, the value of leveraging technology to enable teams to work where and how they work best. With the help from Adrian\, Jamie will take you through the many facets of what hybrid work means to analysts and change agents both today and tomorrow so that you can walk away confident no matter where your work takes you! \n\n\n\nAs this plans to be interactive\, cameras and microphones are highly encouraged to be on and ready! Questions and scenarios are completely welcomed (change the names of guilty parties to protect their faults and mind your p’s and q’s please as we will still be recording if you can’t make it live – but who would want to watch a recording when you can jump in and interact live??).

SUMMARY:Jobs to be Done: A Practical Framework for Understanding Customer Outcomes with Alex Cottrell
DESCRIPTION:Companies can struggle when the emphasis is put on measuring outputs over outcomes. Jobs to be Done (JTBD) can switch the focus from reporting on how well features are being delivered in terms of time and budget to reporting on how effectively the features are ultimately addressing the customer’s most valuable needs. \nTo do this successfully the company as a whole needs to speak the same language and have the same focus on outcomes and helping the customer make the progress they want to in their personal or professional lives. Jobs to be done is where this all starts and Alex will take us through how he and his team have made this change

SUMMARY:LinkedIn Live: Selling The Value Of Business Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Despite the growing opportunities for business analysts and the rising tide of opportunities within the profession\, the struggle to communicate our value persists.

SUMMARY:The Art of Cybersynergy: How To Get Security Teams Out Of Your Way And Onto Your Side – With Mark Cross
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever found yourself in eleventh hour negotiations with someone from your information security team as you try to get through change control? As we strive to make our projects more agile\, it is becoming more and more common that our goals of maintaining project velocity and quality can become disconnected and this can lead to rising tensions and last minute compromises that leave everyone dissatisfied. \nAs a business analyst who has worked on both sides of the fence\, Mark has had the opportunity to gain a special insight into what makes security teams tick and explore ways to ensure that his projects run more smoothly and deliver more resilient products that keep everyone happy. \nIn this session\, you will learn about how the role of information security officers has changed in recent years and what keeps them up at night. We will discuss the main places where projects can get caught out and what the true cost of missed security requirements can be. Finally we will walk through a simple methodology that will allow you to streamline the process of identifying security concerns early to avoid headaches later

SUMMARY:So\, Are You a Product Thinker?
DESCRIPTION:FREE WEBINAR: \nSoftware delivery often comes to continuous output fatigue with little to none observable impact. Outputs are easy to plan\, easy to assign\, relatively easy to produce\, definitely easy to see. They give a sense of completion. In practice\, teams are “doing agile” while not being able to bring a working product to their customers. \nWithout a working product there is no change adoption\, no behaviour change. Product orientation focuses on the customer behaviour aspect that is anticipated to lead to meaningful business improvement. \nBusiness analysis & product management are strategic allies who enable product thinking by ingesting product discovery\, focus on problem domain exploration\, experiment with solutions and drive continuous learning. \nAnna Kochanowska wants to encourage BAs to apply product thinking\, to show how this concept translates into our role\, how it should evolve\, what competencies we need\, and how we should reshape the traditional business analysis capability in order to help our organizations to speak the same language – the language of outcomes and value.
