Lean Business Analysis with Decision Making

“How to focus on valuable activities every day.”

Many organizations are faced with excessive cost overruns and challenges to deliver anticipated value during project execution. In working with many clients and reading study after study, a root cause almost always points to issues associated with business. It could be missing needs, inability to prioritize, conflicting needs. In the end, this challenge and struggle commonly relates to how organizations are making and communicating decisions before, during and after projects. Decisions need to be made with the information available at the right time.

This session takes an in-depth look at how teams should look to improving decision making to help increase project success. By looking at a project as a path of decisions business analysis professionals and other team members will be able to determine what activities will add value to the initiative and the optimal time to perform them. At the end of this session you will see the business analysis discipline is all about helping organizations make great decisions.

SPEAKER'S REEL

This short video highlights Kupe and his Keynote speaking ability.
Kupe’s presentation was fantastic! His ability to capture an audience and energize the room is amazing. He is absolutely one of the best presenters I have seen. Extremely talented.

Colleen Schulz, Director - Business relationship Manager at OneAmerica
I would like to recommend Kupe to anyone who is thinking of bringing in a speaker or consultant. Before engaging Kupe, during the negotiation process, I found him to be very personable and easy to work with, and I was impressed by his expertise. Once engaged, he got (and continues to get) rave reviews for the results he delivered. The expectations were high, and Kupe exceeded them!

Bill Marut, Business Analyst, Chubb Insurance
Kupe is a natural on stage. He commands the audience and is extremely genuine. Many of our participants were able to relate and put into practice the key topics covered.

Donna Betancourt, Enterprise Architect, The Hartford
Unscripted and amazing. It is hard to get project managers out of their shell but Kupe had us out of our seats, laughing, doing crazy things and secretly teaching us before we knew what hit us. Laughter truly is the best medicine and I would prescribe Kupe for your next event if you need a fantastic speaker who knows the profession of Project Management and Business Analysis.

Kenneth Watkins, President, PMI Memphis
We (IIBA MSP) brought Kupe in to be our Keynote speaker for our chapter’s professional development day. Kupe knocked it out of the park. He captivated the crowd of 400 and challenged traditional views while keeping the energy high. I would highly recommend Kupe as a speaker and trainer. We look forward to having him back at next year’s PDD.

Jon Firnstahl, (former) President, MSP IIBA Chapter
Kupe brought his ‘A game’ when he presented to the Louisville IIBA Chapter. His discussion on Improvisation was engaging, fun and insightful. The chapter members and guests had nothing but high praise for Kupe and his topic. On behalf of the entire Louisville IIBA board, we highly recommend Kupe.
