<h2>Facilitation Skills for Business Analysts</h2>
 <p>This course is part of IIL's Business Analysis Certificate Program (BACP), a program designed to help prepare individuals pass the IIBA® Certification exam to become a Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP™).</p>
 <p>Business analysts are communicators who bridge the gap between people with business needs and knowledge and the people who will provide solutions. Business analysts are continuously involved in communications with stakeholders and developers as they create the solution to business problems. They participate in information-gathering sessions including interviewing, joint requirements definition, and Joint Application Design (JAD) workshops which are used to streamline information gathering and get immediate validation from user representatives. The business analyst is also involved with negotiating the solution with the stakeholders, upper-level management, and the developers, mediating among the groups when disagreements take place, and influencing the results of decisions during the solution cycle. This course teaches the methods needed to organize and run information-gathering events. It combines the basics of graphic decision making and modeling with facilitation, communication, and meeting management skills.</p><h3>What you will Learn</h3>
 <p>At the end of this program, you will be able to:</p>
 <ul>
 <li>Identify the major touch points between key BABOK® Guide knowledge areas and business analysis communication</li>
 <li>Describe the facilitation skills that are most supportive of those intersections</li>

As chief talent-spotter, Clare loves to discover memorable new characters, bold and unique voices, strong concepts and gripping storytelling. She represents picture books, middle-grade, teenage and YA. Clare is particularly looking for funny chapter books for younger readers at the moment, as well as contemporary MG, YA fantasy, romance, and rom coms, especially with underrepresented protagonists. Whatever the age range, Clare loves a big hook, a lot of heart, and a standout voice. For picture books she has the widest taste, from daft to lyrical, rhyming to prose. If your submission doesn&rsquo;t fit a description here, it doesn&rsquo;t mean Clare doesn&rsquo;t want to receive it.

Saying something important that you think others won&#39;t want to hear? Standing up for yourself and sharing your thoughts or needs? You are NOT alone! Having worked in a support role for a decent sized employer in the UK for over a decade, we KNOW that this is a challenge for many: a silent struggle that often goes untackled, unsupported and unresolved. Worse still, this is not a status quo without cost. It costs teams, departments and businesses in lost talent, efficiency and poor mental health. It costs YOU too; stress, anxiety, overwork and challenging relationships.</strong></strong></h3><h3 fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">We know there&#39;s a better way and we&#39;d like to share the core concepts with you! We won&#39;t be telling you what to do; that won&#39;t work.

You&#39;ll work in very small groups and we&#39;ll be considerate and respectful of personal preferences throughout. We know that&#39;s tough for some, but here&#39;s the rub - communication is something we can only get better at if we practice it out loud. We hope you&#39;ll give us a chance to show you what a difference a little support and kindness can make!</h3><h4 fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></h4><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></p>
