Workshop Facilitation for Business Analyst | ft. Imtiaz Kaderbhoy

I've run some really trashy workshops in my career... I am sure you did as well. First, because there's first time for everything. Second, every workshop facilitation is a unique challenge. There are typical instances, but there are no same you could run twice. Finally, good preparation takes a lot of time; sometimes, you cannot afford that. So what could you do? Today, I want to share another Passionate Business Analyst podcast episode featuring my friend Imtiaz Kaderbhoy, a workshop enthusiast and experienced business analyst. Together, we try to recall all of our experiences running complex workshops and what we could have done better. We talk about different types of workshops, how to prepare, what to consider, and how to run them. We also discuss online workshop facilitation and how they are different from offline workshops. It may not be the first video you see on the topic, but this one is from the heart ❤️ Enjoy the episode and share in comments how horrific were your first (or latest) workshops and share your tips with the community. ============================= 0:00 Intro 00:50 Defining workshops 4:13 Workshops Use Cases 8:10 Workshop Preparation 13:26 Technical issues 16:35 People issues 20:40 Getting stakeholders on board 27:01 Conducting Workshops 40:49 Stakeholder Engagement during Workshops 45:42 Online workshops 54:10 What makes a great facilitator 58:05 Your first Workshop 1:00:05 Personal insights ============================== SUBSCRIBE!
