Specify and Model Requirements

Strategic Business Analysis

Business analysis models are visual representations of requirements and designs that convey a lot of information in a concise and understandable manner.

Collaborative elicitation uses these models to provide a framework for asking the right questions, and for analyzing and validating the results with stakeholders.

Different stakeholders have different perspectives about the requirements, and by using a combination of visual models, business analysts can help to discover and consolidate those perspectives.

In this course participants will explore techniques and practices for identifying and understanding the stakeholder requirements that define the solution scope, and for eliciting and describing the requirements.

This course provides participants’ with ways to discover, understand, and collaborate with stakeholders and to communicate business needs. It will identify the most effective ways to apply the capabilities of the organization: to reach strategic alignment and the desired business objectives. Participants will examine ways to understand the current state, identify and evaluate solution options and recommend the preferred solution approach. Examine ways to evaluate the solution after implementation and identify risks to business value, assess the impacts and probabilities of those risks and develop ways of addressing them to ensure that the organization achieves the potential value.

Saturday Screenwriting Series Following the 9/11 attacks an investigative commission stated the reason why they weren’t thwarted was a colossal “failure of imagination”. Shortly afterwards the CIA formed DCI Red Cell – a group of experts brought in to spitball future attack scenarios. Was this group of “out-of-the-box-thinkers” comprised of terrorism experts and security analysts?

Nope. They were Hollywood screenwriters – the most imaginative people on the planet.

Join screenwriter Michael Giampa for a behind the scenes exploration of this thrilling world in our new Saturday Speaker Series! Using film clips, screenplay pages and other mediums topics will range from film history to scene structure to creating movie moments.

Emotional Illusion Tricks of the Trade

Eye of the Beholder - Film History from the Screenwriters POV

Who hasn’t thrown punches when they hear the Rocky theme, cringed when Linda Blair’s head spins in The Exorcist, or smiled when Zellweger tells Cruise “You had me at hello” in Jerry Maguire... despite the awareness that it’s make-believe? That we’re being manipulated by writers and filmmakers to really respond to what we know isn’t real. That’s the magic of movies!

Explore these strategically arranged combinations of imagery, storycraft, wordplay, music, and messaging to learn some tricks of the trade.

A film is all-too-often examined from the filmmaker’s perspective showcasing the “director’s vision”, the “actor’s presence” or the “cinematographer’s palette”. A lot of theory focus has been given to the moving image. But what about the storyteller that thought of that image long before it was burned to celluloid?

What influenced them to think of it in the first place? And how were they inspired?

Knowing a little more about the writer's point of view will make you aware of the hidden story formulas in film and allow you to watch movies in a whole new way!

Leadership and Organizational Culture What is the culture of the organization?

Although there are a variety of definitions, there is general agreement that culture is an important factor affecting behaviour, performance results and the effectiveness of change. You will explore the concept of organizational culture, how it is created, developed and managed.

Using a diagnostic instrument, you will identify the shared values and beliefs in your organization and focus on the implications of that cultural perspective for your leadership role.

Managing Workplace Conflict

Workplace Communication

Conflict is normal and inevitable. Even though our associations with conflict may often be negative, working to resolve these differences is often a constructive growth experience both for the organization and the individual. This introductory workshop explores concepts and skills that help people prevent, manage or work through conflict in a way that minimizes destructive conflict dynamics and maximizes mutual benefits.

Your success in the workplace depends on your ability to communicate effectively. Good leaders are good communicators. This course introduces the critical components of effective communication including non-verbal communication. Through large and small group discussions, paired activities and reflection, ways to improve your interpersonal communication skills will be identified.
