Aligning Your
Work with What Makes You Happy
After analyzing the results of interviews with 850,000
people, researchers Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton found the key difference
between those who are happiest and most energized at work is whether their work
aligns with what motivates them.
But knowing what most motivates us isn’t easy. It’s often
not what our culture tends to emphasize, things like status or money or even
using our strengths.
The authors’ research shows that if people understand
better what their motivators really are, they can make some relatively moderate
changes within their careers that will make them much more engaged and happier.
What You Will
Learn
Join us as the New York Times bestselling authors of
The Carrot Principle and All In unveil their exciting new work,
and offer an extensively-tested method to identify anyone’s unique blend of
core motivators and then help them align more of their work with what drives
them. Attend and you’ll learn:
·
How to identify your core set of motivators (they are
different for each person)
·
How to enhance your value and accomplish more in your
career with simple but powerful job-sculpting strategies
·
How to avoid blind spots and potential conflicts
Whether listeners are managers who are trying to get their
people to be more productive and engaged or individuals looking to reignite
their passion in their current job, this program will help them align the work
they do every day with what truly motivates them.

The information and decision-making duties of
project professionals and business analysts get more complex every day. Data
resources – and concerns – have become ubiquitous, and it's critical to stay on
top of them. While BAs don't need to suddenly transform into data scientists,
they must understand the data resources currently available, what they offer,
and how they're being used. Most importantly, every BA should understand how
data can be leveraged to deliver business value and project solutions in their
own work.
This one-hour open Q&A session gives you a
chance to get answers to common real-world data challenges. Join us as we talk
with top-tier data expert Darrel Raynor. Darrel is a veteran project consultant
and turnaround expert. He owns and runs www.dataanalysis.com and has provided
consulting services to many dozens of Fortune and enterprise customers.

Disciplined Agile Business Analysis
Presented by
Scott W. Ambler, Senior Consulting Partner, Scott Ambler + Associates
Analysis is so important to agile teams they do it every

evolutionary in nature. Disciplined agile analysis takes it up a notch to
address the complexity factors agile teams face at scale.
In this webinar we will discuss how disciplined agile teams
address analysis activities throughout the lifecycle. You discover that
the roles and responsibilities on agile teams are different than those on
traditional teams, requiring both a mindset and a skill set change for business
analysts.
Key learning
points:
·
Discover how disciplined agile teams approach analysis, and
modelling in general
·
Learn agile analysis and modelling strategies

Lead with Humility: Lessons from Pope Francis
Presented by
Jeffrey Krames, Best Selling Author of The
Rumsfeld Way, 4 E’s of Leadership and more
Inspiring
Lessons for Leaders Everywhere
When Fortune announced its list of the World’s
Greatest Leaders, the top spot was awarded—not to a captain of industry—but to
the new pontiff.
How did a man who spent his life laboring in slums far from
the Vatican manage to do this and so quickly?
The answer lies in his humility—and the simple principles
that spring from it.
Since Jorge Mario Bergoglio became Pope Francis in March of
2012, he has shown the world a new way to lead. Not with bluster or bravado,
but with humility and humanity. He has, without a doubt, been the most humble
leader on the world stage of the modern era.
There isn’t even a close second.
What You Will
Learn
As someone who has studied leaders and the topic of
leadership for more than three decades, Jeffrey Krames has long believed that
humility is the most under-rated of all leadership qualities.
This webcast explores how Francis has combined humility
with power to become the most fascinating pontiff in modern memory. Then the
program digs deeper to reveal the key business tenets that Pope Francis has
exercised to create his own brand of leadership. Examples include:
·
Guard against insularity: Many heads of corporations and
states fall prey to the “bubble” phenomenon, meaning that they feel imprisoned
by the trappings of their positions. To make sure that Pope Francis did not
lose his broad perspective, he put together a makeshift “board of directors.”
Dubbed the Vatican-8, or V-8, these eight Archbishops from all over the globe
serve as his consulting body. None of Francis’s 265 predecessors ever amassed
such a consultative body.
·
Live on the frontier: To “live on the frontier” is to push
the envelope and live outside of your comfort zone.
·
Run your organization like a field hospital: Francis feels
very strongly that members of the clergy must go anywhere and everywhere, no
matter the risk, to tend to their flocks. The same tenet works well in
business. Instead of a reliance on email, Twitter, etc., what is needed are
more face-to-face meetings.
Pope Francis’s ability to inspire the world is
unprecedented in modern times. Join us as we explore the power of his methods
and how anyone can take these lessons to lead with grace and greater
authenticity.

Even at its very foundation, the cornerstone
of Agile is the concept of self-organization. Self-organization ultimately
centers on professional skills, autonomy and empowerment. When executed
correctly, it is a strong first step on the road to embracing multiple agile
practices. If your team can't self-organize, it is a strong sign that your
organization is not ready for agile.
In this web seminar the concept of
self-organization will be explained in real terms using real examples. From
there the components necessary for self-organized success will be discussed
including:
·
A look at autonomy and the fears and risks associated with it
·
Critical attributes of team members
·
Critical attributes for managers and leaders
·
Team responsibilities
·
Manager and Leader responsibilities
·
Techniques to hire for team members who can fit in with self-organization
·
Failure points and tips to overcome those points
The final piece to this success is
understanding that at the core of self-organization is trust. We will finish by
discussing tactics and tips on how to develop trust from both the top down and
bottom up.

It's a perennial problem for everybody: Over
time, data quality degrades. Human error gradually accumulates, weird
duplicates pop up, corruption happens – the list goes on.
How can we do better with our data hygiene and
keep our quality standard high when it comes to our information? Data can be
our most valuable resource, if it's a current, well-maintained repository of
useful information. Taking small steps now – every day – can yield big payoffs in
the future if those steps gradually amass a high-fidelity treasure trove of
information that can be mined and modeled.
Join us for a one-hour open interview with
Triangle data guru Damian Herrick. Damian is a consulting partner on analytics
and enterprise data analysis, and he will answer questions about how to
maintain high quality standards when we work with our data.

The Agile Business Analyst
Presented by John
Parker, CEO for Enfocus Solutions
The BA role significantly changes on agile projects. For example,
requirements are no longer defined by the Business Analyst; they are defined by
the Product Owner and the Team as user stories in the product backlog. The
requirements continue to evolve as the Team has conversations with users of the
software. BAs become much more strategic and work closely with the business to
define and prioritize Features. They also work with the business to plan and
manage business change. This webinar is specifically targeted at
enterprises that have adopted agile at the Team level but are having trouble
scaling agile to the enterprise. John will also discuss the soon to be released
BA Body of Knowledge V3 from the IIBA and the related changes in the BA role.
The following topics will be addressed in the webinar:
·
The role of the BA on agile projects
·
Business, Architectural, and Transformation Epics and Features
·
Defining requirements on agile projects
·
Changes in the BA role in IIBA’s BABOK V3
·
Challenges to scaling agile to the enterprise
·
Transforming Business Analysis role to a strategic role
·
Engaging stakeholders on agile projects
·
Using the BA to manage outsourced agile development
·

Agile Analysis: An Interview with Kent & Kupe
Presented by B2T
Training
Many agile related discussions in the business analysis community
focus on the wrong things:
·
Which is better agile or waterfall?
·
Do you need a business analyst on a team using agile?
·
What’s the best tool for gathering and documenting requirements in
agile?
This interview will NOT focus on these topics. At the end of the
day, requirements are a means to an end. Unfortunately, many in the business
analysis community treat requirements as their end product. They think their
job is to produce these things called requirements. Agile is also a means to an
end. The term agile is a handy label that has been warped into a marketing
buzzword for a set of practices and techniques that are helpful, but not
sufficient to truly satisfy the needs of stakeholders if not accompanied by the
appropriate mindset; a mindset that encourages collaboration among stakeholders
to deliver value in frequent increments with consistent reflection and
adaptation. Join Kent and Kupe for 30 information-rich minutes that will be
spent tackling these issues head on and discussing where teams should focus
their attention. We’ll leave some time for Q&A, so let us know what
questions you have as part of your registration below or chime in after the
conversation.
