Summary:
We are working in a constrained environment – limited time, money and resources with a growing book of work and a full change agenda. We need to work smarter and faster to execute on our strategic plans, but how?
By applying a little creativity, and using the Scaled Agile Framework as our inspiration, we designed and implemented a new way of prioritising, planning, and executing the strategic objectives of our business area. We challenged the traditional (and somewhat conservative) mindset of the bank, and introduced a methodology that encourages transparency, engagement, improved quality and better alignment with strategic ambitions.
Learn how our BA team introduced a new way of working to the treasury and reporting function of one of Northern Europe’s largest banks, and along the way how we redefined the role business analysts can play in delivering change.
Learning Objectives:
- How to apply agile ways of working to strategic prioritisation
- How to close the gap between strategy and execution
- Reshaping the role of BAs in delivering on strategic goals
