To be successful projects need clear directions and destinations. Therefore it is necessary to understand what business problem or opportunity exists.
In this episode we talk with Adrian Reed about pre-project problem analysis which is also the topic of his workshop at our BA Boot Camp on the 11h of May 2016 in Vienna.
In his practical and interactive session he focusses on how to carry out problem analysis either before a project has been initiated or during the project’s early stages. He will provide tools and techniques that everyone can use early in the project process.

Content of this episode: Pre-Project Problem Analysis
- Problem analysis for successful projects
- Understanding the why
- Understanding the what
Successful projects need a clear direction and a definitive destination. Therefore it is necessary having a solid understanding of the business problem or opportunity that exists. Understanding the real business problem, it is much easier to elicit and analyze business requirements and understand the business value that the project will deliver.
Adrian is one of our special experts at the BA Camp 2016 in Vienna. At the BA Boot Camp on 11th of May he will start his course with a broad definition of problem analysis, and then focusses on understanding the high-level “Why” and the “What” of projects. The session continues by focussing on how to define a high-level “project concept summary”. Adrian will provide and exercise with the attendees tools and techniques that they can use early in the project process. These techniques are also useful and valuable throughout the project, in cases where the organisational, business or scope changes take place whilst the project is in flight.

BAs have to act like Sherlock Holmes: They need to pay their attention not only to the spoken words, but also to nonverbal communication. How body language is in meetings important too and what to look for, you will find out in this episode.
Communication is key in any business analysis project. Most people believe that words are the communication of the message when, in fact, words make up only 7 percent of the message. Tone of voice and nonverbal communication make up the other 93 percent. As a business analyst, you should be familiar with the positives and pitfalls of common verbal and nonverbal communication. In this episode we speak with Joe Navarro, famous writer and speaker and one of the world’s foremost authorities on reading non-verbal communications.

Sometimes it is hard to be happy with your job. Management seems to be a complex thing and you, as their employee, are not able to change anything. But is this really so? And how much space for systemic thinking is in this complex management world?
In this show Jurgen Appelo talks with us about complexity in management and life. Many people are unhappy with their jobs and lives. But before quitting or changing something, we often just complain. The goal of Management 3.0 is to help you grow and transform organizations into becoming great places to work.
Sometimes life seems to be unfair to you: Your job may be boring, someone is most of the time complaining about you and what you are doing and the whole world seems to be against you. Maybe you just have a bad day. But you are the only person in the world who can change this! By now. How? As Jurgen tells us and our listeners in this episode: It’s all about on how you are thinking.
How much options do we really have to change the management? Why are three dots not always building a triangle? And why is it sometimes not helpful to analyze everything? These and many more questions we discussed with author, speaker and entrepeneur Jurgen Appelo.
