Your People are NOT Engaged:
Simple Tips for Bringing Your Organization to Life
Presented by David Snyder, Senior Consultant, ASPE
Training
Many companies fail to meet their full
potential for one simple reason: many of their employees are not “engaged” in
their work. Studies show that the vast majority of employees are either not
engaged in their work or “actively disengaged.” The number one job of any
leader is to make sure that employees are excited about their work, feel
engaged in their work and are receiving the guidance they need to make the most
of their talents, passions and skills. If team members are receiving this
guidance from their leaders, they will help to significantly improve the
performance of the company and create a more productive atmosphere. However,
improving engagement means more than handing out a simple survey. It is
essential to find out why employees feel disengaged nd how they can become
engaged through stronger and more interactive leadership.
In this powerful webinar, David Snyder,
a critically acclaimed leadership author and ASPE’s Senior Leadership
Consultant, covered these important topics:
·
The top reasons employees are not
engaged on the job
·
The main reason managers fail to
detect the real reasons for job apathy
·
How to work with team members in
every department to discover their core skills
·
How to create a culture where
“project management is for everyone.”
·
How to unleash a new level of
enthusiasm and accountability on teams
·
Simple strategies to coach and
mentor so that performance improvement becomes a passion
·
The most important things all
leaders must do to make their people feel valued and motivated

There is no doubt that a well-trained,
experienced, and competent professional project manager will make a meaningful,
value adding contribution to any organization. The career minded project

not even be imagined. These challenges require a unique type of person who

Once Upon a Time: The Business Analyst Storyteller
Presented by Bob Prentiss (Bob the BA)
Would you agree that requirements need to be clearly
understood? It seems logical, right? What about memorable? That’s
right, I said memorable, not measurable. Yes of course they should be measurable
but that becomes meaningless if they are not first, memorable. So why is it
that more Business Analysts don’t tell requirements stories? The most effective
communicators tell stories – they ensure things are memorable and clearly
understood. The Business Analyst should be the best communicator on the team
given the sheer volume of requirements, plus all of the additional things that
support the requirements like how we got there to begin with, the business
case, the value proposition, business rules, and more. What is that you say?
You are Agile? Then you better ramp up those storytelling skills!
Come join me, Bob the BA, to learn what makes up a
compelling requirements story. Stories that are memorable, contagious,
interesting, and ensure the requirements are clearly understood. Learn the
structure, how emotions play into the story, how to hold your stakeholder’s
interest, how improvisation and the art of surprise can enhance the story and
keep it relevant for your audience. Did you hear the one about the
non-functional requirement looking for the functional requirement in all the
wrong places? Probably not, but it sounds like there is a great story in there
somewhere that needs to be told. What’s your story?
OBJECTIVES
·
Learn why Business Analysis requirements storytelling is
important.
·
Learn the foundations of good requirements storytelling.
·
Learn the different level of stories in business analysis,
Waterfall vs. Agile.
·
Learn what it takes to have satisfying conclusions to your
stories.
