Influencing without Authority-1 day workshop

Presented by Bob Prentiss,  CBAP®
 
Watermark Learning, Inc. 
 
 
 
How do we establish enough influence over key stakeholders to get our work done when we have no real authority over them? We know what needs to be done and we know how to do it, yet we can’t get our boss, our colleagues, and yes, even the people who report to us, to do the right thing. Some days it feels like we’re just banging our head against the wall. The result -a whopping headache!
    

Bob Prentiss is the Client Solutions Director of Business Analysis at Watermark Learning. Bob is CBAP® certified with 14+ years of Business Analysis experience managing BA Centers of Excellence, and assessing/managing BA maturity and competency.  

Bob stays involved in giving back to the BA community through mentoring and coaching, providing formal training, developing best practices, speaking at industry conferences on topics such as: CBAP® Certification, Centers of Excellence, BA Competency and BA Careers.

Sept 30th: Jonathan ‘Kupe’ Kupersmith – How to become a Senior Level BA

Title:  The Six Key Characteristics of a Senior Business Analyst

Description

In our profession there is a lot of discussion about what makes a business analyst a senior business analyst. Some of the discussion revolves around years of experience.  The number of years with the title Business Analysts is not an indicator if someone should be classified as a senior BA.  You cannot get to the senior level without a number of years of experience, but number of years alone is not an indicator. 

 This presentation covers the six key characteristics of a senior business analyst and how to become a senior business analyst. The presentation is based on a number of blog posts Kupe has written on BA Times.  

 Learning objectives

  • The key characteristics of a senior business analyst
