CRUCIAL CONVERSATIONS: 5 CRITICAL CONCEPTS TO HELP YOU EFFECTIVELY DISCUSS WHAT REALLY MATTERS MOST Let’s face it, there are just some conversations that you don’t want to have. There are some people you simply don’t want to talk to. What happens when we don’t? Everyone loses. If we want healthy, productive teams and projects, crucial conversations must be had.

FUTURE FORWARD: DESIGN SOLUTIONS FOR BUSINESS, CUSTOMER AND EMERGING FUTURE TRENDS
Minds Alert, llc
The good’ole triad of creating systems to meet the needs of people, process and technology, while serving us well, is no longer sufficient. The era of mergers, acquisition, consolidation and process optimization has given away to a new era of customer centricity, faster product development, service design, and the larger overarching goal of designing for the triple bottom line. Enterprises must balance intrenal corporate objectives with larger global environmental interests. Winning products, services and businesses going forward will design for people (HR), process (Ops), technology (IT) AND customers, partners, ecosystem, user communities and more. How far are you prepared to stretch as a designer of these integrated experiences? And what design patterns do you need to be on the lookout for as your firm makes this shift?
IMPROVING COMMUNICATION AND COLLABORATION THROUGH IMPROVISATION
B2T Training
Talking and reacting in the moment is the core of what you do as a project manager and business analyst. Much of what happens on a project is unscripted. To propel to the senior level of your profession you need to continually improve your creative thinking skills and how you interact and communicate with your stakeholders. It just so happens that improvisation is the practice of acting, singing, talking and reacting in the moment and in response to the stimulus of one’s immediate environment. This highly interactive and fun keynote focuses on key improvisation lessons that will help you be a more attentive and flexible business analyst and project manager

EQ vs IQ APRIL 4TH, 2017 3:45PM - 5:00PM
You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know people make decisions based on their emotions. Just look at politics, religion and retail purchases across the world. Furthermore, we know marketing experts have learned the best way to motivate a person, group or company is through their emotions. Yet over the years, the basic belief and standard for defining and choosing a strong leader within a company has always been to measure ones IQ, which in fact, measures logical reasoning, word comprehension and math skills rather than their creative potential or ability to relate to a person, group or company team. Join Troy McClain, season one Apprentice finalist, who will share his story of how he developed a leadership role and successful business by focusing on EQ rather than IQ. This session will take you on an eye opening journey of discovering yourself, how to manage your emotions, learn how others think, and how to process these emotions to work more efficiently with others in your organization. This session aims to bring it back into the workforce.

BADASS BUSINESS ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES! BOB PRENTISS Bob The BA
We live in a VUCA world. It’s easy to be consumed by shortterm challenges posed by leaders, team members, and other stakeholders and only be tactical in our responses. To respond for the long haul, we must think strategically. We need to know when to stop analyzing and breaking apart data. We need to figure out how to create useful meaning from the uncertainties and trends that seem far out, but have begun to impact us. In this workshop, you’ll walk away with a variety of practical strategic thinking tools you can immediately apply.
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.
NO-NONSENSE BEHAVIORS THAT LEAD TO EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE NEAL WHITTEN The Neal Whitten Group
Neal reveals 27 important leading-edge, bestpractice, results-oriented leadership behaviors that can promote your professional and personal success. Then, using an assessment instrument and exercise templates, assess your proficiency in key behaviors, recognize your inhibitions that are holding you back from becoming your best, identify your top three behaviors with which to improve and learn how to create your personalized performance improvement plans. Bonus: Assess your work-life balance.
