Business Analysis Webinars for February 2021 - Part II

 Friends, Romans, Countrymen, bring me your...problems?

Presented by Nadine Millner, CBAP, ACBA

 

Problem solving starts with good problem identification and definition. Many business analysts are not included in the problem identification phase of a project and are brought in to deliver solutions. NO matter the stage at which a BA joins a project some problem analysis should be performed. This puts the analyst in a position of knowledge and understanding of the project purpose.

Familiarity with the problem-solving process is key; understanding the relationship between analysis and the problem-solving process helps analysts to see just how critical the problem analysis phase is.

A view on how to tackle problem analysis is presented, together with some guidance on how to document impactful and meaningful problem statements. The relationships between problems, objectives and benefits is highlighted to enable understanding of the importance of the early, accurate definition of problems.

 

Audience Takeaways:

    Gain understanding of the generic problem-solving process is key to business analysts performing their work efficiently.

    Develop approach to problem analysis to create in-depth and valuable analysis that ultimately leads to correct solution implementations

    Use of problem statements as a vital foundation to all further analysis and set the context for project effort

Cultivating Dissent: Why Ensuring Voices Are Heard is Hard with Raafat Zaini

Presented by Raafat Zaini, Blackmetric Business Solutions

 

Organisation’s scholars rave about dissent and how great it is for organizational performance. Yet many seem to hate it. Even organisations claiming to have dissent tolerance abandon it after some time. Why? Because dissent is a dynamic phenomenon that requires time and effort to receive, process, and show value.

To explore dissent dynamics, Raafat and his colleagues built a system dynamics model to understand the impact of dissent accumulation on organisational climate, composition, and performance.  In this webinar, you can find out more and will have the opportunity to ask questions. You can download the original paper "Organisational Dissent Dynamics: A Conceptual Framework" here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0893318916671216
