Business Analysts are at the heart of improvement and change in an organization. The Business Analyst plays a crucial role in a team that does the analysis, assessment and execution of change – be it process related, operational and/or technological in nature. They are also increasingly embedded in the growing use of technology in organizations and its inherent complexity in the context of an intricate business environment.
The role of a Business Analyst has gone through a gradual metamorphosis in the past decade. With increased awareness and realization that a BA can be more valuable if leveraged properly, Project Managers can benefit from understanding how to interface most effectively with this critical team member.
Join us to discuss how BA’s and PMs can be “Perfect Together” from the perspective of a passionate Business Analyst who is rapidly becoming a thought leader and mentor in his profession.

As much as 68% of projects fail either outright or because their success is compromised in some manner – over budget, behind schedule or failing to deliver expected outcomes. Project teams may find a lack of clarity in the project management processes they are expected to follow or a lack of support from the Project Management team.
In order to set the stage for project success, it is critical for the best projects to be selected. Projects should clearly address the objectives of the organization, offer skills to be available to the project team for gathering and clarifying customer expectations, and identify, assess and appropriately manage all risks.
Solutions Cube Group’s webinars address many relevant project issues and close the gap between project theory and practical application. View this presentation to learn insight for both the Project Management team and project team stakeholders regarding key tools and techniques they can employ immediately to increase the success of their project outcomes.
In this overview level recorded Webinar participants will:
Understand how to ensure each project fits with and supports the corporate strategy
Recognize when requirements fit within in the scope of the project effort and clearly recognize the needs of the project stakeholders
Understand the success factors for effective Risk Management.

Relationship Economics®: 10 PDUs for $320 $100! Transform Your Most Valuable Business Contacts into Personal and Professional Success
Relationship Economics isn’t about taking advantage of friends or coworkers to get ahead. It’s about prioritizing and maximizing a unique return on strategic relationships to fuel unprecedented growth. Based on the author’s global speaking and consulting engagements, Relationship Economics reveals that success comes from investing in people for extraordinary returns. This revised and updated version explains the three major types of relationships—personal, functional, and strategic—and how to focus each to fuel enterprise growth. It introduces new concepts in relationship management, including the exchange of Relationship Currency®, the accumulations of Reputation Capital®, and the building of Professional Net Worth®. These are the fundamental measures of business relationships, and once you understand them, you’ll be able to turn your contacts into better executions, performance, and results
Relationship Economics takes a unique long term, strategic and quantifiable view of business relationships that goes far beyond networking oriented books. Nowadays, many companies believe that networking is a key to success. Relationship Economics shows us that this notion is a mere fallacy.
With this course, the reader will learn that success comes from learning how to invest in people for an extraordinary return. Readers will be able to understand and develop the three types of relationships: personal, functional and strategic – that will ultimately help hone critical skills to not only develop a nose for identifying great opportunities, but which relationships to tap for execution, performance and results.
