Developing and Selling your creative talents
In an effort to standardise our work, have we lost focus of the importance of Creativity and Innovation?
In an industry that promotes uniformity and standardisation through methodologies, templates and tools, it is often difficult to find opportunities to be creative. This presentation uses thought provoking topics to encourage you, as Business Analysts to adopt a creative approach to solving your every-day client problems.
Through introducing a range of techniques, this session will help you understand the importance of developing and selling your creative soft skills that are increasingly expected as an addition to your BA tool-kit
You will be taken on an engaging journey that encourages you to reflect on the legacy of creativity that you have left in their wake and encourages you to stand out from the crowd by promoting a creative culture within your teams and amongst your clients.
By the end of the session you will
∙ Understand the difference between creativity and innovation and the increasing importance of demonstrating both as a Business Analyst
∙ Take away techniques to help you generate creative thinking ideas and to filter creative ideas into a practical offering
∙ Have ideas on how to sell your creative talents to your clients and promote a culture of creativity and innovation in the workplace
