In this episode of Business Analysis Live!, Susan Moore, Community Engagement Manager at IIBA, speaks with Laura Paton, a LinkedIn Learning instructor, speaker, and trainer, about the critical role of communication in successful business analysis. Effective communication ensures that all stakeholders share a clear understanding of objectives and desired outcomes. Business analysis professionals often act as the bridge between stakeholders and solution implementation, engaging with individuals across various levels of an organization, each with unique communication needs. To connect effectively with this diverse audience, business analysis professionals must employ a range of techniques and skills tailored to different contexts and stakeholder groups. Communicating in a one-size-fits-all manner simply doesn’t work. The consequences of miscommunication can be severe, leading to misaligned goals, project delays, or even failure. Discover why clear and effective communication is essential for achieving business outcomes, learn strategies to overcome common challenges, and gain actionable tips to enhance your communication skills as a business analyst—all in this insightful episode! 🎙️Episode Highlights: • The Role of Communication • Challenges in Communication • Tailored Communication Strategies • Techniques for Effective Communication • The Cost of Miscommunication • Communication in a Digital World • Building Strong Stakeholder Relationships 🔗 Resources: Connect with Laura on LinkedIn Link to Laura's LinkedIn Learning course Business Analysis Communication Business Analysis Live is hosted by Susan Moore, Community Engagement Manager with the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA).
