IIBA North Branch July Event at Aviva in Sheffield (In Person)
IIBA UK North Branch are delighted to present our next meeting with our hosts, Aviva in Sheffield.
Please join us for insightful talks and networking.
Our First Speaker:
How to be a More Strategic and Impactful BA
Are you always struggling to get your decision makers to agree? Have you put many hours into your analysis findings and still things are not moving forward? Do you keep having the same conversations again and again about an issue and seem to be stuck?
Helping to move things forward is not just about getting a clear understanding of the problem space but also learning how to convince people to take the next step together. For this you need to know what keeps things stuck, how people think and what helps them to make decisions confidently.
In this session Karen will go through three areas where you can focus and gain improvements on being more impactful as a BA and helping to unlock decision.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Learn about the blocks all decision makers have and how to overcome them
- How to frame your analysis in a way that aids decision making
- The secret to actually delivering valuable outcomes

Our Second Speaker:
The Confident Business Analyst
In this thought provoking talk, our speaker will invite you to think about what role confidence has in the BA tool kit. One that we don't always talk about explicitly, is confidence the silent key to success or an overrated personality trait?
