Meeting Description:

Please join the Central Indiana IIBA Chapter for the final series of Business Analysis 21^st Century Evolution: Leadership on Tuesday, November 13. 

It has been stated that the strongest gauge of an outstanding business analysis practitioner is leadership. This meeting will focus on a review and meaningful, engaging dialogue about the book “Business Analysis & Leadership Influencing Change.” Business Analysis & Leadership aims to give you practical advice and ideas on how to be a successful change leader at four levels: yourself, your project, your organization and beyond.  Some of the topics we’ll be covering in detail are:

• facilitative leadership
• working with Project Managers
• dealing with difficult stakeholders
• the iterative business analyst
• systems thinking
• strategic thinking
• power and politics
• ethics, professionalization & best practices
• communication and negotiation

In reviewing this book, Kathleen Barrett, former President and CEO, International Institute for Business Analysis said, “This book draws together a diverse set of sources to help a BA gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to be a change leader from any perspective.”
 
If you are involved in business analysis and influencing change, this meeting will provide you with valuable resources for accomplishing that goal!
