Calgary hosted Business Analyst World in 2010 – one attendee wrote:
I think the best part, is that I was able to walk away today with some cool new ideas, some validation that I’m a part of a leading Business Analyst community, and some personal goals for new techniques to investigate further. – Posted by Jelywa
The Opening Keynote on Monday April 12 is a terrific presentation we’ve featured on pduOTD.com titled 5 Monkeys, a Banana and a Flight of Stairs by Glenn R. Brûlé (LinkedIn profile) of ESI International.

To understand the story of the 5 monkeys – Click here. 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.
