In this session, we will build on the opening session to explore how we can put character into practice to increase positive influence with others. When you define leadership as having influence with others, we are all leaders in some way – and our day-to-day choices define how effective we are.

The pace of change for business is crushing and traditional approaches to change simply can’t keep up. For the business analysis profession, the question is… what do we do about this? At the intersection of business analysis and business agility there are eight practices that organizations have used to become best in class in dimensions like innovation and operational efficiency, while at the same time becoming better places to work. Keith Ellis, IIBA’s Chief Engagement & Growth Officer, will unveil a host of data from an intensive IIBA study to talk about how business analysis is essential in a world that demands being nimble.
Session Objectives:
-
Define: What is a ‘nimble organization’?
-
Actionable Techniques: How do organizations use these eight practices to drive organizational success?
-
Measure: What is the impact and role of business analysis professionals in nimble organizations?

Presentation Title:
Do you want to meet Emily in Paris or Escape from New York? Plan your Roadmap with key Prioritization Techniques
Description of the presentation:
You’re on a road trip, just you, and 2 cities to visit – easy peasy to plan the route. Now add 2 friends, your parents, and 2 kids in the car and each person wanting to go somewhere different - how does the road map get prioritized? We find ways to plan when there are multiple decision makers involved in creating the project’s development path with many swimlanes of features. There are different techniques to prioritize that we can use alone, and many times in conjunction together. This session will explore what a roadmap is, people involved in creating it, and different ways to prioritize and issues that people find when doing this work.

I've spoken at RTP IIBA before, many BA World conferences and IIBA Chapters over the year.
