When people keep doing things the same way they have always done, it is because that is the way it was done when they got there. They don’t ask why they are doing it that way they just know that’s the way its done.

When change unfolds, anxiety and resistance within an organization can indicate trouble on the way.

It may surprise you to discover that the best change champion in your organization is the business analyst. It’s the business analyst’s unique perspective and expertise that makes them the perfect change agent and allows them to lead successful change initiatives.

Designed to empower business analysts to diffuse the fear among business teams that typically accompanies change, this presentation will encourage leadership and communication skills, and demonstrate the value of the business analyst in the organization.

Learning objectives:

• Incorporate change management best practices
• Discover critical business analyst capabilities that can be harnessed to manage key players through change effectively
