Opportunities with Your Peers

Local & Convenient Location

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.

ProjectWorld*BusinessAnalystWorld Moncton 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 (Applying Improvisation to Your Team); Hans Eckman (Becoming the Best Version of YOU!); Bob Prentiss (The Game Changer: It’s Time to Think, Learn and Work Differently); 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 SPEAKERSWHY ATTEND:

APPLYING IMPROVISATIONTO YOUR TEAM

To accomplish anything, you need the help of others and others need your help. Successful teams have members that are continually improving how they interact and communicate with each other. Collaboration, creativity, and results grow out of an environment that is positive and affirming. In this highly interactive and fun session, Kupe, an improvisational actor, focuses on key improvisation lessons that will help you be a more attentive and flexible team member.

You will walk away with lessons to help you stay in the present, temporarily suspend judgment, keep conversations moving forward and listen generously. These skills are needed to build positive, trust based, results oriented teams. With Kupe’s background he will be able to help you directly apply these skills to your job.

BECOMING THE BEST VERSION 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.

THE GAME CHANGER: IT’S TIME TO THINK, LEARN & WORK DIFFERENTLY

I am talking about a major did-not-see-it-coming game changer like Lin-Manuel Miranda who wrote “Hamilton the Musical.” Hamilton is a record breaking, award winning Broadway musical with ticket prices exceeding $3,000 a seat. My thinking about business analysis has forever been changed after seeing “Hamilton the Musical.” Business Analysts need to embrace that kind of game-changing skills as we head into the future of business analysis. Can’t afford the ticket price? No worries because tickets to Bob the BA’s Game Changing presentation are included in your conference price! The future of business analysis requires people that are Game Changers to lead their projects, teams, and practices into a new era of technology, hybrid business models, and advanced collaboration. Game Changers anticipate what is coming and they work hard today so that they are prepared for tomorrow. Hey Game Changer, do you know what you need to do today to get ready for the future of business analysis? Don’t be caught in the past and get ready for a game-changing event that you will not soon forget because you are about to Think, Learn & Work DIFFERENTLY!

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.
