About the Workshop |
|
|
Why do so many BI projects
not deliver expected returns? How come many carefully taken decisions are
only partially implemented? Is your investment in quality information and
systems paying off? Beyond data and BI tools, decision-making is all about
people. People working together to understand needs, agree outcomes and
take realistic action. That’s the goal of this workshop: to give
participants the knowledge and tools to collaborate creatively in
decision-making.
Studies
in neuroscience, psychology and behavioural science have shown that all our
interactions are heavily influenced by prior uncomfortable experience,
especially in times of stress. Our minds jump instantly and unconsciously
to those previous occurrences, assume the worst outcome and immediately
resort to our old adaptations—withdrawal, aggression, submissiveness and
projection. These problem-based behaviours are key barriers to your
success.
What if
this workshop eliminates your resistance and enables potent innovation in
your workplace? What if your ability to work towards win-win solutions
increases dramatically? What if your creativity expands as you allow
yourself to embrace genuine cooperation and realistic risk?
Dr.
Barry Devlin and Ingrid Hoffman teach and demonstrate simple and powerful
techniques to dramatically shift your interactions from past adaptations to
positive and realistic behaviours. You will be encouraged and coached
within the workshop to dialogue safely, hear accurately and reduce
frustration so you can begin to reap the benefits immediately when you
return to the office. Outcomes include:
|
> |
Clearer communication of
often competing needs |
|
> |
Improved relationships both
between peers and across organisational levels and boundaries |
|
> |
Approaches to dissolve
conflict and defuse adversarial behaviour |
|
> |
Creating a decision-making
environment that is emotionally safe and conducive to creativity |
|
> |
Enabling you to improve
morale and common commitment to decisions taken |
This will be a hands-on workshop, combining traditional teaching with
experiential learning to allow you to apply new dialoguing techniques
immediately on your return to the office. |

Interview with James Taylor

past in the context of predicting the
future, says BI expert James Taylor. |

|
In the news |
BI faces data hurdles
[ Johannesburg, 9 Feb 2010 ] - “There's a
huge amount of value that has been developed
through enterprise repositories. But the
crystal ball promises most BI vendors are
making are a long way from reality.” |
Spotlight on BI excellence
[
Johannesburg, 21 Jan 2010 ] - Not long ago,
SA was playing catch-up with the
international business intelligence (BI)
market. In recent years, however, the local
market has not only closed this gap, but in
certain areas set the trend in terms of BI
innovation and maturity. |
BI gets smarter
[ Johannesburg, 15 Jan 2010 ] - In-memory
business intelligence (IMBI) is playing a
bigger role due to its ability to function
faster than traditional BI solutions, as
well as removing memory bottlenecks. |
BI requires decision-driven focus
[ Johannesburg, 3 Dec 2010 ] - For business
intelligence (BI) to be more than just
another piece of middleware, BI
professionals need to focus on decisions,
operations, and the future. |
ITWeb to host BI summit, awards
[ Johannesburg, 25 Nov 2009 ] -
