Business Analysis Webinars for June 2020


Where have all the settlers gone?
Presented by John Albrecht

A Talk/Workshop to explore different motivations within organisations. What are the motivations behind individuals’ actions and what can we do to better understand and work with all the people in our organisations?

Working with teams in a variety of organisations I have noticed repeating patterns, behaviours and outcomes. People are so often pulling in different directions creating frustration rather than collaboration. A dive into shadow, projection transactional analysis, ego states, drama triangles and how there is an interplay with the scripts and games within our organisations and an exploration of the biggest game of all

What roles do we play and what options do we have to move forward and away from drama?

OLN Community Open Space: Thriving with change
Presented by Coaching Agile Journeys

You are Invited.

You are invited to join our first OLN community Open Space event as we discuss the theme: Thriving with change.

We help others in times of change, but now we find ourselves in the same boat with others, trying to adapt to the circumstances at hand.

You might be wondering how to answer questions such as: How does sudden global change impact us and our future? Can we thrive with change? What comes next for Agile Coaching, Agile, and organizations undergoing transformation and rapid change? How does the current world situation change the way we approach and show up to do our work? How will it affect our lives even after Coronavirus has passed?

How does this sudden shift into connected-video change things? Does this new medium encourage more or less openness?

Is the sudden shift to connected, online communication opening or closing access to decision rights?
What happens to the typical-meeting authority dynamics when everyone is presented equally in a Brady-bunch style, completely random video grid? Which square is the seat at the head of the table?
How do you lead in this new environment? How do you follow?

Do those with better communication skills in this medium have a new kind of superpower? An unbeatable advantage?

Is facilitation of meetings in this new medium essential? If so, what will happen to company culture as a result of this shift?

We invite you to our first OLN community Open Space to explore these questions and more. We are on a journey without maps, except as we co-create them. There are no simple answers, only an opportunity to explore and find our path together. You are invited to join the Open Leadership Network Community on June 4 at noon ET to begin the exploration.

*This is an Open Space (http://openspaceagility.com/what-is-ost/) event so prepare to engage and be surprised.

The BA and Business Analytics  
Presented by Steve Blais, PMP, PMI-ACP, Author, Consultant, Teacher and Coach

It might be easy for the business analyst to pass the challenges of business analytics, with all of the statistics, math, algorithms, programming in strange languages like R and Python off to the data analysts and data scientists but at the same time we may find that we are passing control of the business and of our careers to someone else.

Business analytics does not work, at least it won’t work successfully, without having some kind of business problem to solve. Despite the mythology of data mining and data analysts coming up with magic associations and insights that no one ever saw before, it doesn’t really happen that way. The data analysts and data scientists are brilliant at applying algorithms to massive amounts of data to produce results, but someone has to understand what the organization’s problems and issues are and form the questions that the data scientists and analysts are going to answer with data. 

This webinar introduces you to the concepts of business analytics and data mining and how the business analyst plays an integral role in the overall success of business and data analytics in the organization. 

Topics: 
• It sounds similar, but it’s not your job? 
• Using business analytics 
• The business analytics value chain 
• The business analyst’s role and why it’s necessary
• Asking the right questions
