Billie Johnson CBAP will lead a discussion of impact of Trust on Business Analysis. All would most likely agree that trust is certainly a game changer should the trust level be high or minimal. However contrary to what most people believe, trust is not some intangible quality that you either have or you don’t. Rather trust is an actionable asset that can be created much faster than you might think.

The discussion includes:

– Economics of Trust
– Clues for detecting missing trust
– What causes contribute to a lack of trust in your projects today?
– Impact of Mistrust
– Building Trust (quickly)
– Trust Crusher
Reference: The Speed of Trust by Stephen M.R. Covey

This 1 hour (1 PDU) live webinar is presented by ASPE on Monday January 10 2011 at 12:00 p.m. EST

The rubber stamp for project approvals has been shelved for the last few years. Only projects that can show a direct and quick return on investment or those that have made a compelling and believable “strategic importance” pitch will be approved. The “strategic importance” pitch is very risky and can come at the cost of a project not getting approved.

The logical path for Business and IT professionals is to take the business case approach to getting projects approved. Business and project professionals have two choices right now, one is to sit on the sidelines and wait till the economic environment is better to push their project(s) through or learn how to build a convincing business case.

Presenter:
Sherry Pate is a PMP with a proven track record of Project Management success and a strong expertise in Project Management training. She is also a seasoned Business Analyst who has trained over 1,500 professionals on Business Analysis techniques. Her extensive experience not only includes Project Management but also Software Development, Portfolio Management and Program Management.

In this presentation Sherry will cut to the chase and give you a pragmatic real-world look at Business Case development. She will provide you tips to protect yourself from delusional optimism and build a case based on rational expectations, real estimates and real needs.
