Duration: 1 Hour Credits: 1 Category A PDU – Free PDU

Business Analysis, like most professions is fraught with moments of uncertainty, anxiety, fear and all sorts of emotions, both positive and negative.

We often have to deal with stakeholders who at one point or the other express feelings of project-related frustration based upon unmet requirements.

The ability to manage one’s emotions and that of others is necessary to become a mature Business Analyst (BA).

In this webinar Terrell will detail how we can become more emotionally mature and grow our skillsets as a BA.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is about identifying and understanding our own and other people’s emotions with the objective of channeling these emotions towards a positive outcome.

A BA with high emotional intelligence is able to decipher their emotions as well as that of others to help form healthy working relationships; allowing the successful identification of project requirements.

This webinar will focus on the key intersection of EI and BA, and how EI can be applied to become a great BA.

Topics will include the following: 

• What is EI and how does it compare to IQ?
• Emotional IQ and the BA.
• The four key components to EI.
• Incorporating EI into your personal development plan.
• Moving from a good BA to a great one through improved EI.

Value may be the most overused word in presentations. And for good reason. Delivering business value is what a project is about.

But what about the value left behind?

• What if we should have delivered twice as much or even ten times as much?
• Who is monitoring what’s left behind?
• How can we measure the impact of a decision on value delivered AND on value left behind?

What if the value left behind represents a greater opportunity that dwarfs any potential gain from improving individual project delivery. Join this “Hands On” webinar and learn to calculate the value left behind.

The Value Triple Constraints (VTC) is a simple concept.

It helps to:

1. Measure value delivered;
2. Estimate value left behind;
3. Optimize project sequencing;
4. Evaluate total impact of scope changes.

Angelo will explore how the function of the PMO can be revitalized with the use of the VTC in identifying Programs and Portfolios that more accurately reflect strategic business intent.

The Value Triple Constraints :

• Helps us to truly use projects to deliver measurable value by thinking outside the project in addition to executing inside the project.
• Expands the role of project thinking and connects projects directly to an organization’s strategy.
• Provides a new role for the PMO as a Performance Management Office, an enabling role as compared to one of control & compliance role.
• The Value Triple Constraints is a valuable tool for the business manager, the project manager, and the PMO.

Companies spend huge sums to develop leaders, but neglect their writing.

For many, writing will be the roadblock that prevents them from advancing.

The truth is that as a leader, you spend precious time making your e-mail messages and reports reflect your hard-earned leadership skills.

• Are you using the latest writing strategies to distinguish yourself as a leader and influence corporate culture?
• Are you modeling reader-centered writing to drive outcomes—to make writing an asset rather than a drain?

Elizabeth Martin (LinkedIn profile) the Instructional Quality Manager of Better Communications, will kick off this session targeted specifically to the writing strategies that support leadership growth and success.

Elizabeth will present content focused on these three leadership traps:

• Leadership matador: Being evasive
• Hiding the keys: Giving hidden or unclear action requests
• Leaders as bad cops: Being too critical in writing

You will leave with a new vision of how to:

1. Use writing as a strategic tool
2. Write for action—accelerate change
3. Handle sensitive issues appropriately

Learn the latest strategies to distinguish your leadership brand. As Nitin Nohria, Dean of Harvard Business School, says, “Communication is the real work of leadership.”

Presenter:  Elizabeth Martin, Instructional Quality Manager, designs, develops, and produces learning materials,  leads the editorial team, manages new facilitator orientation and heads online learning development.at Better Communications®.  Elizabeth leads in-person and online workshops, and  has taught literature and ESL in schools and colleges. Elizabeth wrote and edited formative evaluation reports for comprehensive school reform programs and has done freelance writing and reporting for daily newspapers.
