CONNECT Teaches Two Courses at the TDWI World Conference - San Diego, CA
Leading and Organizing Data Warehousing: Improving Individual and
Team Performance - August 17, 2008
Power,
Politics, & Partnership in Data Warehousing Projects -
August 20, 2008
Maureen Clarry and Lorna Rickard will participate in The Data Warehousing Institute (TDWI) World Conference. They will teach two courses, "Leading and Organizing Data Warehousing: Improving Individual and Team Performance" and "Power, Politics, & Partnership in Data Warehousing Projects".
Leading and Organizing Data Warehousing: Improving Individual and Team Performance focuses on the roles and responsibilities for successful data warehousing teams, how to create cross-functional collaboration, organizational models, decision making models, and leadership skills. Attendees also learn how to clearly define goals and expectations, and practical tips and techniques for organizing, hiring, leading, and sustaining a data warehouse team.
Power, Politics, & Partnership in Data Warehousing Projects will help you see your data warehousing organization from a whole new perspective! It provides insight and strategies on how to create cross-functional collaboration between the executive sponsor, the steering committee, business users, management, the project team, and technical staff. If your data warehousing organization is struggling with misunderstandings between IT and the business, misdirected energy, finger-pointing, lost opportunities or dissatisfied customers, you will see new possibilities and solutions in this class.
The core of the class is an exercise where you are assigned a role as an executive sponsor, manager, team member or customer. You then interact in a chaotic, fast-paced project environment and experience the reality of what makes productive partnerships so critical, what gets in the way of them developing and what role(s) we play in making them happen. Throughout the interaction, the instructors will teach you strategies to address the issues you experience so you can immediately apply and practice what you learn relative to your data warehouse program.

Negotiating for BI Success will cover the four steps of principled negotiation and look at how to manage the various people issues that inevitably surface. Hands-on practice, in-class coaching, and peer discussion will reinforce concepts and assure that you can apply these powerful strategies back on the job.
You Will Learn:
- How to define success for multiple parties, identify common ground, and find win-win opportunities
- A process for how to reach a fair and mutually satisfactory agreement without ending up in a bitter dispute
- How to enhance your negotiating power, even if the other side is more powerful
- Strategies for dealing with emotions (yours and theirs) while negotiating
- How to deal with hard bargainers or those who try dirty tricks
Additional Power, Politics, & Partnership workshops are coming!
