Improving organizational Requirements Maturity is a strategic approach to improving project success and aligning IT with the business to meet objectives on time and on budget consistently.

According to the recent IAG BA Benchmark study of 437 large and medium organizations in North America and Europe, the organizational level of Requirements Maturity is directly proportional to the likelihood of project success.

Companies invest millions of dollars in recruitment, hiring, and training of Business Analysts every year without a detailed understanding of the role and how to integrate into the enterprise; the average Requirements Maturity level in North America is only 1.8 on a scale of 1-5, and only a fraction of those measured qualified at a level 3 or higher.

For individual and organizations that are serious about improving in a consistent and measurable way, IAG will explain the key concepts and results you can expect by improving organizational Requirements Maturity

Learning Objectives:

1. The impact of requirements maturity on overall business and project objectives.
2. The Requirements Maturity Model.
3. A high level roadmap to improving requirements capabilities.

Join Tom McGraw (LinkedIn profile) as he discusses how PMI® has implemented some extensive changes to their Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) program.

The distribution of required PDUs between Education and Giving Back has been changed to place more emphasis on education and reduce the number of credits that may come from working as a professional. PMI has created the Talent Triangle, which outlines a balance of skill areas ideal for long-term project and business success.

With this new structure, many requirements for certification renewal have changed – meaning you may need to know how you’re affected by this.

This 1-hour web seminar discuses the recent changes and what it means for you. This web seminar will be 50% explanation of the new Talent Triangle and 50% question and answer and real-world discussion

The main skill of trainers and designers is to impart knowledge. But reflect upon this:
Do you simply explain content and bore learners to death or do you generate enthusiasm and engagement with a story? How do you distinguish what your true style is?

It is difficult to assess one’s self and find the right balance. It is even more difficult to shift skills and approach to become an effective storyteller.

Explainers tend to impact information while storytellers are equipped to help learners experience the information.

In this webinar, you will review and assess yourself using the “Trainer / Designer Style Self-Awareness Survey.” You will gain insights on how to transition your skills from being a boring explainer to a high-impact storyteller..

Topics to cover:

• Recognizing the art of story design and storytelling and its growing popularity in social learning, micro-learning, face-to-face presentation, in writing and multimedia
• The assessment value of the “Trainer/Designer Style Self-Awareness Survey”
• What to do to improve yourself
• Finding opportunities to impact learning by being a story designer

Attend the webinar and undertake the “Trainer/Designer Style Self-Awareness Survey.”
