2018 KEYNOTE SPEAKERS 2018 KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

LIFE IS MEANT TO BE FUN! Life is meant to be fun. You should be having fun when you do things. If you’re not having fun, then why even do these things? “Fun”, “Innovative”, “Creative”, “Entertaining” – these are all things we look for in our leaders, teammates and fellow collaborators, yet, rarely do we see job descriptions, duties or work place expectations ever mention these adjectives when describing the functions and approaches they expect their teams to take. So how do you build “fun” into the daily grind? How can you be innovative and lead from your current position? What elements can you introduce so that you and your teams look forward to the work in front of you? See where fun is all around us and gain the key concepts you can use to immediately find enjoyment in where the world takes you.

TRANSFORMING BUSINESS EXCELLENCEBusiness 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.

THE GAME CHANGER: IT’S TIME TO THINK, LEARN & WORK DIFFERENTLYAre you a Game Changer? A person that can change the entire game? 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 those kind of game-changing skills as we head into the future of business analysis.

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. 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!

BECOME THE 1%: HOW YOUR IMPACT CAN CHANGE YOUR ORGANIZATION AND THE WORLD What if you and everyone connected to you could join that 1% of people who positively influence the other 99% within your organization? Imagine the endless possibilities that can be manifested there as well as the impact you can have on the world. Yes, you have an energy that affects others around you – that energy is your influence. Every moment of your life you are changing and therefore impacting and influencing those around you – all driven by your mindset and your thoughts. As the world of business moves away from strong hierarchies, rigid rules and increasingly specialized work, corporate and government organizations are undergoing massive transformation because keeping the same bureaucratic mindset is causing widespread employee disengagement problems. This is why breaking out of silos, examining and sharpening your thinking is vital for attaining outstanding levels of success. The process requires you to understand how your thinking has both propelled you forward and held you back and to build the muscle that keeps pushing you toward your goals. Yes, you have an impact – and a responsibility for that impact. Become the 1% and change your organization. Become the 1% and change the world.

FACTS TELL, STORIES SELL: HOW TO STORIFY DATA AND INFORMATION TO GET YOUR POINT ACROSS

Lori Silverman, Strategist and Owner, Partners for Progress

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.

STRUCTURING CHANGE – A GUIDE TO CHANGE MANAGEMENT Clinton Ages

Certified Professional Coach, Coach Clinton

The only thing that is consistent is change! This workshop supports you and your role as a change agent with understanding a model for implementing organizational change. The goal is to share

a systematic approach to implementing change, aiding in your success to gaining change momentum and achieving your organizational change objectives with more efficiency and less stress.

LEADERSHIP BOOTCAMP Rhonda Scharf, Owner, On the right track

Come to our Leadership Bootcamp to find out what you need to know to lead through your actions - with or without authority. The best leaders have willing followers. Learn to create a tribe of people who want to be on your team. Learn to motivate them

(and you) by changing just a few small traits. Create positive morale, energy, and successful projects. Leaders aren’t just born, they are created - learn how to become the best leader you can be.

BADASS BUSINESS ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES! Bob Prentiss

CEO, Bob the BA

Badass Business Analysis techniques? You might be thinking “Cool! What are those?” or “I know lots of techniques already so this session probably is not going to be of any help”. Before you make any decisions, let me ask you the following question: Do any of the statements below ring true regarding a meeting you either recently attended or facilitated? • The attendees during the brainstorming session were all zombified by the approach and the results.

• The icebreaker was frozen solid and “Let It Go” was all anyone could say.

• The decision model failed to make a decision and everyone muttered “thanks for wasting my time” as they left the room.

• The process modeling session took so long someone literally fell asleep at the table.

If you have seen or experienced any of those scenarios, you might want to rethink the techniques you are using. Businesses today are changing rapidly. The same old

techniques that you have been using may not be living up to the agility and speed required to succeed in this new dynamic marketplace of change. Are you ready to learn and practice 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! Gone are the days when negotiations involved plaid suits, cigars, flashy ties and the manipulative “negotiation” tactics used in that era. In a global marketplace where clients have unlimited access to information and choices, professionals focus on building partnerships and long-term relationships with their clients, suppliers, business partners and colleagues.
