Presentation: Did Someone Say ‘People Instruction Manual?
A workshop to balance out your technical and people skills

As Simon Sinek says, “If you don’t understand people, you don’t understand business.” So how do you understand people, this arguably most unpredictable variable in any business? If you add the diversity of gender, age, cultural background and personal views and habits, that is enough to make one’s brain hurt. And yet, the outcomes of a business analyst’s work often depend on how well they deal with stakeholders.

If you feel that you spend a lot of brainpower on working with people or you want to balance out your technical and soft skills to become a better leader, then this workshop is for you. Its purpose is to introduce you to DISC, a behavioural profiling framework that has been used by millions of individuals all over the world for over 25 years. It is a powerful tool that is like an instruction manual for people. It makes it easier to understand how we connect, communicate, make decisions, what causes stress and conflicts, what motivates us and whether we are open to change or not. As a result of attending the session you will have more influence on stakeholders. You will also get insights into your own behaviour so you can be better understood.
