Live Webinar June 11th, 2020 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EDT
Activity Type: Education – Course or Training  1 Hour  1 PDU free
Provider:  Modern Analyst

It might be easy for the business analyst to pass the challenges of business analytics, with all of the statistics, math, algorithms, programming in strange languages like R and Python off to the data analysts and data scientists but at the same time we may find that we are passing control of the business and of our careers to someone else.

Business analytics does not work, at least it won’t work successfully, without having some kind of business problem to solve.

Despite the mythology of data mining and data analysts coming up with magic associations and insights that no one ever saw before, it doesn’t really happen that way.

The data analysts and data scientists are brilliant at applying algorithms to massive amounts of data to produce results, but someone has to understand what the organization’s problems and issues are and form the questions that the data scientists and analysts are going to answer with data.

This webinar introduces you to the concepts of business analytics and data mining and how the business analyst plays an integral role in the overall success of business and data analytics in the organization.

Topics: 
  • It sounds similar, but it’s not your job?
  • Using business analytics
  • The business analytics value chain
  • The business analyst’s role and why it’s necessary
  • Asking the right questions

All of us know about business processes. Any business development starts with a process organization.

Before starting a new project, we also have clearly defined processes and a clear understanding of these processes.

We have these processes groups in each project. We need the system approach for the project execution.

Understanding Project Management processes in the context of the organization’s business processes is very important. It’ll help us apply various Project management methodologies, and their effective combination, as well as it gives the possibility of flexible management.

In this webinar Irina Kulikova will show a point of view, answering the following questions.

  1. Which business processes are we have in the project?
  2. How to effectively integrate the project management processes into the business processes of the organization?

  • How are you responding to and managing the shift to remote and distributed workforces?
  • Have you learned any lessons thus far and how will you apply those learnings to future, unexpected changes?
  • What mix of tools do you need today (and in the future) to best support being successful at onboarding and supporting new employees?

These days, it’s more critical than ever to check in on new hires as they face a barrage of unfamiliar challenges, in addition to simply integrating into a new company.

Organizations have always relied on in-person methods of onboarding, but with the recent shift to remote workforces, it is of paramount importance to explore new, virtual tools that streamline processes and support remote employee productivity.

In a recent Checkster study, it was found 72% of hiring managers indicated that checking in with new hires is highly crucial to success. And yet the same study showed that only 40% of hiring managers today have access to a formal process to do so.

Now is the time to explore new, digital, remote-friendly tools and processes to best support your workforce through a distributed work environment.

During this session we will review the recent trends uncovered by our COVID-19 Hiring Manager Research Report and analyze the best solutions to help you respond with success.

This pandemic has brought to light the need for companies and HR leaders to be flexible and resilient. Incorporating digital methods today will ensure your company is going to remain successful throughout the current pandemic, but also help you be prepared for unexpected changes yet to come.

Here’s What You’ll Learn:

  1. What are the main challenges hiring managers are encountering during onboarding?
  2. How to adapt faster to the new normal and other changes yet to come.
  3. What type of tools and solutions should HR adopt for a more flexible, digital, automated tool set?
