Announcement: BA Conference Europe 2018 — See You There?

As many of you know, I enthusiastically believe in the value that good quality Business Analysis can bring, and I love speaking, writing and presenting on this and many other topics! In a break from my normal ‘blog’ style, I have a very quick update for you.

I’m really excited to announce I’ll be speaking at the BA Conference Europe 2018. Firstly, I will be presenting a workshop entitled Pre-Project Problem Analysis: Techniques for Early BA Engagement.  Later in the conference I will present a session entitled And Then The Magic Happens: What BAs can Learn from the World of Magic

Attending the conference is always one of the highlights of my year, as it provides a real melting pot of ideas. It’s a great place to meet other BAs and exchange knowledge. There are fantastic presentations from real-world practitioners, and there’s also the opportunity to relax and chat over a beer (or two) after the conference has closed. If you haven’t been before, I’d highly recommend taking a look.

The conference is being held in London, from 24 – 26 September. You can find full details of the conference here:

And if you’re on Twitter, you can keep tabs on the preparations for the conference (and the conference itself) using the #BA2018 hashtag.

I hope to see you there…

PS — if you can’t make it to London, I’m equally excited to say that I’ll also be presenting at the Building Business Capability conference in San Antonio, Texas, USA in November, where I’ll present the following sessions:

• Problem Analysis for Innovation: Your Practical Toolbox (Half day workshop)
• Leading from the Middle: Influencing & Delivery in Tricky Projects (45 minute session)

I hope to see you there too!
