Leading Through Change
and Uncertainty
Presented by Lisa Cox, Trainer and Consultant, Corporate
Education Group
One thing we can be sure of is change. It’s inevitable, and
a natural part of our everyday personal and professional lives. Even though
it’s a known fact that change will occur, there is still un-certainty around
the long-term effects of change in an organization. Dealing with change and
uncertainty is a daunting responsibility for every leader.
change efforts often fail because the organization and their leaders lack the
framework and skills to guide their people through it effectively. Failed or
stalled change initiatives waste time and money, reduce productivity and
engagement, and increase employee turnover.
In this webinar you will learn tools for how to create an effective change
management plan to maximize time, effort, and money, and set the leaders in the
organization up for success.
In this webinar, we will explore:
• Recognizing
change starts with you
• Establishing a mindset and plan for
change
• Measuring progress

Business Analytics
Series: How to Assess Validity and Reliability of Data
Presented by Dr. Mark Griffin, Founding Director, Insight
Research Services Associated
A classic misunderstanding about big data is the idea that
if a dataset is big enough then any pattern found within the dataset must be a
meaningful pattern. In contrast the reality can be summarized as “garbage in,
garbage out”. Ultimately any time we consider using any data within our work
then we need to assess the quality of the data, and to decide whether or not
the data is suitable for our purposes. Two of the core concepts within data
quality of validity and reliability.
At a simple level validity considers whether what we have
measured is a true measure of some underlying quality. For example, we might be
able to easily measure employee turnover within a company, but is employee
turnover a true measure of job satisfaction (just because staff remain working
for us does that mean that they really enjoy their work?).
With reliability we might measure the same thing on two
different occasions (possibly under different conditions) to see if we are
measuring the same values. One type is reproducibility or test-retest
reliability. In this case we ask the same question in the same way on two
occasions. If we ask staff about job satisfaction, are we going to get the same
results, or might staff experience good and bad days on the job (in which case
how can we measure job satisfaction)? Another type is called inter-interviewer
reliability and considers whether we are collecting the same measures
irrespective of the choice of interviewer. For example, if we are doing a survey
on attitudes towards gender diversity in the workplace will respondents answer
the questions in the same way if they are being asked by a male and a female
interviewer.
We will introduce these concepts of reliability and
validity, and to consider different approaches for measuring these concepts.
They are referred to in Section 2.3.3 (Explore Data) of the IIBA Guide to
Business Data Analytics. Assessing the quality of data is an important step in
the early stages of data analysis.

Demonstrating a consultative mindset is a defining
characteristic of every senior level BA, and a should-do at any level of practice.

hard to define, but we all know it when we see it!

develop, and recognize this in yourself and those you coach or supervise.
Learning Objectives:

attitudes, skills, and abilities that make up a consultative mindset.
