Welcome to a challenge and an opportunity. Our team would like to offer both, while sharing some insight on one of the most unique combinations of sessions and workshops available to you across North America.

“Transforming Business Excellence” is more than our conference theme – it’s about establishing a long-term mindset that enables us to achieve, believe and deliver.

As a project or business analysis professional, you are often tasked with managing teams, predicting shifting scenarios and ensuring careful direction, while understanding the importance of the bottom line.

ProjectSummit*BusinessAnalystWorld New York is designed to create circumstances that deliver these breakthrough skill-set learning situations. Whether it’s through recognized experts and innovators in the fields of Project Management and Business Analysis or peer-to-peer casual conversations, the learning process will be natural and, often neglected, fun!

It’s important to remind you that we are a PMI and IIBA Endorsed Education Provider. Attendees earn 1 credit for every hour of education – 26 in total over 4 days, which goes a long way to renewed certification.

Our innovative keynote speakers include: Kupe Kupersmith and Curtis Michelson (NextGen Business Competencies: Keys to Being Ready for The Future); Hans Eckman (Becoming the Best Version of YOU!); Eric Bloom (Leadership and Soft Skills that Drive Project Success); and Rhonda Scharf (Transforming Business Excellence).

I encourage you to take a moment from your busy day to review this concept of gathering/sharing insight and make an informed decision on what this opportunity might mean to you and your team.

2017 KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

NEXTGEN BUSINESS COMPETENCIES: KEYS TO BEING READY FOR THE FUTURE

They build internal cultures and teams that can work with complexities and dynamic change by making high quality decisions at the speed of business. A new leadership style is needed. Enter the NextGen Business Competencies. The next generation business competencies are the capabilities you need to help everyone in the organization make faster, better decisions. They help to make complex situations, ‘solutionable’ and ‘actionable’. You need these skills to help organizations find new areas of research, ways to prototype and test ideas, and quickly validate, so that the enterprise has momentum for innovation and value creation. You also need soft skills and leadership skills to build high commitment and trust in cooperative and co-creative teams. This is the future. Kupe and Curtis Michelson will help you see and feel the NextGen Business Competencies. They will do this in a way that models key principles they promote, by using humor and collaboration games. Come prepared to feel the model, think about the future and learn how you can be ready to level up.

LEADERSHIP AND SOFT SKILLS THAT DRIVE PROJECT SUCCESS

Project Managers, Business Analysts, Scrum Masters and Product Owners alike, need specialized skills such as leadership, negotiation, team building, influence and more. They must also have the ability to think strategically, resolve conflicts, facilitate change, communicate effectively with multiple professional disciplines, and perform other related activities.

Based on my analysis of the PMI Triangle, IIBA BABOK, Agile/Scrum and ITIL, this talk outlines the specific types of leadership, interpersonal and business skills needed to enhance team harmony, maximize productivity and facilitate the teamwork needed to ensure project success and enrich professional growth.

2017 KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

BECOMING THE BESTVERSION OF YOU!

We all have dreams and aspirations for something better. A better job, more recognition, experience in a new domain, a happier life, or maybe just a new hairstyle. So I can’t offer much help on hair styling, but I can share some tips and stories on how to exploit your uniqueness to create the very best possible version of YOU.

After working and consulting for over 25 years, I’ve learned that the secret to happiness isn’t being the best in your field (or even a happy wife), but fulfilling your potential. Together we’ll explore why leveraging your strengths is far better than trying to fix weaknesses. We’ll experience inspirational examples of how you can overcome fears that are holding you back. We’ll play “Where’s Waldo?” to discover how personal branding is the key to opening doors. You don’t want to miss this fun, engaging and possibly politically incorrect session.

TRANSFORMING BUSINESS EXCELLENCE

Business Transformation consists of Innovation, Delivery, and Performance. Your ability to implement all three areas will determine your success in creating your individual business excellence. How will you be innovative with the information you learn while here? Have you looked at how you deliver your message or yourself? Your performance is up to you. Together we will review the highlights of our conference. Through laughter, a unique perspective, and collaboration, you will walk away with clear steps you will need when you return to your workplace. Together we will transform your business excellence.

How do you effectively share a data-driven business case? How do you keep stakeholders engaged while sharing a bunch of numbers and figures? How do you turn a pile of statistics into something that’s meaningful? All data has a voice. Someone has to extrapolate meaning from it — and then transform this meaning into a compelling story that moves people to take action. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to storify data and information to more quickly get your point across to get the action that’s needed.

Are you ready to learn and practise some new and very helpful techniques you have never heard of before? Are you ready to expand your frame of reference and re-look at how you facilitate? It does not take a Badass Business Analyst to learn these new techniques, but if you are willing, you are well on your way to becoming a Badass Business Analyst!

Project failure is expensive to your organization and to your career. This workshop will reveal the most prevalent causes of project failure and will show you what you can do to avoid the reason for failure by going after the root causes. This workshop is so important to project and program managers, it should be mandatory for all project and program managers—whether new or experienced. This workshop and its takeaway exhibits can be a game changer for your career.

Design Thinking is an innovative approach to get your team in that high performing mode. There are too many studies to quote that discuss the things CEOs really care about. I will tell you, they are all saying we need a clearer, improved focus on the customer. Using Design Thinking approaches to your work is a way to get that clear focus. Design thinking has a long history…it is not new. Design thinking has evolved and has moved into your world. Join Kupe to experience problem solving in a different way (starting with the customer experience). Learn by doing and see how being part of a design team can get your team focusing on what the customer really needs. Design Thinking is about collaboration. We won’t just talk about collocation in this session. You’ll get to feel it.

PROVEN WAYS TO ENHANCE STRATEGIC THINKING IN YOURSELF AND OTHERS

Lori Silverman, Partners for ProgressWe live in a VUCA world. It’s easy to be consumed by short-term challenges posed by leaders, team members, and other stakeholders and only be tactical in our responses. To respond for the long haul, we must think strategically. We need to know when to stop analyzing and breaking apart data. We need to figure out how to create useful meaning from the uncertainties and trends that seem far out, but have begun to impact us. In this workshop, you’ll walk away with a variety of practical strategic thinking tools you can immediately apply.

Confused by Agile? Don’t know how you fit in as a Business Analyst? There are many approaches to Agile but very few initially address how the Business Analyst fits into the approach. This 1-day course helps to identify how the Business Analyst performs their work giving them the essential skills to successfully navigate an Agile environment. In the workplace today, every person has more responsibility than ever before. It seems that Business Analysts and Project Managers always have too much to do and not enough time to do it, let alone share the information needed to work well within a Project Team. Stress levels are high, and communication is often lacking, misinterpreted or misunderstood.

Neal reveals 27 important leading-edge, best-practice, results-oriented leadership behaviors that can promote your professional and personal success. Then, using an assessment instrument and exercise templates, assess your proficiency in key behaviors, recognize your inhibitions that are holding you back from becoming your best, identify your top three behaviors with which to improve and learn how to create your personalized performance improvement plans. Bonus: Assess your work-life balance.

Business models are the underlying structures that power all businesses, both for-profit and nonprofit. The Business Model Canvas is a tool for comparing and building models to foster innovation and growth. This workshop is for anyone who is tasked with helping teams consider multiple strategic options for value creation and will explore the nine square canvas designed by Alexander Osterwalder and Yves Pigneur.

You have seen the new technique in the BABOK and want to explore it more! Come join us for a fun play date to play some requirements collaborative games. We will introduce, discuss, and play some collaborative games that will inspire you to work with your stakeholder differently to elicit, analyze and prioritize requirements. Come out and play!
