What is the role of the SharePoint Business Analyst? &
How does it fit into a successful SharePoint strategy?

The answer to this question will vary depending on the company you work for. A SharePoint Business Analyst is one of the most critical functions in your organization, is often one of the most under appreciated roles in IT.

And yet …

It should be at the forefront of your SharePoint planning strategy and governance.

A SharePoint Business Analyst should be able to:

1. Examine existing business processes
2. Identify gaps in processes, identify areas of opportunities and for improvements
3. Gather requirements
4. Implement the new processes, features, and tools
5. Document improvements, measure, repeat the process

In this webinar Andy Huneycutt (LinkedIn profile) will take a hands-on approach to examine the role of a SharePoint business analyst.

Andy will:

1. Explore what SharePoint can do OOTB with no customization, such as adding designing pages, adding web parts, creating Content Types, and working with columns and views.
2. Explore SharePoint can do with “no-code” solutions such as SharePoint Designer, InfoPath, and workflows.
3. Discuss when custom code is needed and when to use Visual Studio.
4. Discuss the need to use Visio diagrams/charts to map business processes.
5. Discuss what SharePoint can do and what it cannot do.

To build the right SharePoint solution, you must define the business opportunity, and that is why a SharePoint Business Analyst is so important to your SharePoint implementation strategy.

As Project managers we “Sell” all the time!

• We “Sell” the project & the project Vision to stakeholders.
• We “Sell” the “Scope-ing” of the project to stakeholders.
• We “Sell”the project to potential team members to get them on our team
• AND Basically … We “Sell” our Skills

Building your “Sales” skills is one of the strongest “Payoffs”
That you can get to help your projects succeed.

Lack of emotional intelligence skills is the one of the biggest and overlooked reason for missed revenue goals.

Often, salespeople know what to do; however, in tough selling situations, they let nonproductive emotions take over.

They discount too soon, write practice proposals without proper qualification and continue to meet with non-decision makers.

Their inability to execute the right selling behaviors during stressful situations lead to poor sales results.

When it comes to sales, emotional intelligence skills are every bit important as hard selling skills.

In this interactive presentation, participants will:

• Learn the neuroscience behind effective selling and influence
• Avoid fight or flight responses when meeting with challenging prospects
• Bridge the knowing and doing gap by integrating hard sales skills training and soft skills training
• Learn how specific emotional intelligence skills such as empathy, assertiveness and impulse control directly affect successful sales outcomes
• Discover how to create emotionally intelligent sales cultures that are competitive and collaborative
