ABOUT THE WEBINAR

An effective organizational strategy should harden the intention behind mission and vision into goals that define the future direction—a direction that must reflect clear context, defined boundaries, and precise capabilities in order for programs and projects to reach intended targets with optimal success.

Business analysis transforms those aspirations into actionable scope by capturing, refining, confirming, and prioritizing the needs to be fulfilled. Only then is project management ideally positioned to achieve the reality envisioned by the strategy.

This means that successfully developing and implementing strategy requires a true partnership between the executives who define it and the business analysts and program and project managers who carry it out. All parties need to understand each other’s perspectives, challenges, and roles, and then regularly interact with each other to confirm alignment, efficiency, and feasibility. Eliminating any part of this undermines that partnership and the mutual clarity of purpose that it promotes.

This webinar defines a concept labeled “the enterprise triple constraint” as the integration of strategy, analysis, and implementation. Without professional business analysis as the catalyst between dreams and reality, projects become exploratory initiatives burdened with avoidable cost, delay, and risk of failure.

Participants will leave this webinar with practical techniques for both communicating and applying the concepts presented, all based on actual experience and real results. 

Learning Objectives: 
  • Learn how business analysts can leverage their role as the custodians and implementers of strategy 
  • Learn the concept of “the enterprise triple constraint,” and understand how integrating its three pillars of strategy, analysis, and implementation optimizes organizational success 
  • Learn how to communicate and apply practical techniques that maximize the business analysts’ impact on their organization 
** Eligible for PDUs, CDUs. **
