Bob Prentiss Presentation Breaks Attendance Records for Central Iowa IIBA Meeting
 |
A presentation by Bob Prentiss, Watermark Learning's Director of Client Solutions - Business Analysis, recently broke all attendance records for the Central Iowa Chapter of the IIBA. The meeting, held March 28 at John Deere Financial in suburban Des Moines, drew over 150 registrants, beating out previous meeting registrations by 20%! Bob's presentation, "Requirements Held Hostage - Elicitation in Crisis" presented the parallels between hostage negotiations and requirements elicitation in the life of a typical BA. "Bob absolutely crushed this presentation," said Andrew Walling, the Chapter's Director of Programs. "The facility where the meeting was held is somewhat remote, and the record attendance demonstrates the drawing power of Bob's topic," he added. |
Bob's interactive presentation allowed the audience to make choices based on events presented in video clips. Bob then presented the outcome of each situation based on the audience's choices.
Attendees had many positive comments on the program. Here are just a few:
"Love the parallels between hostage negotiation and requirement elicitation. Very good things to think about and tips for practice -- this was engaging and fun!"
"This technique can be applied to my job. Thank-you for providing this presentation to us!"
"Reminders about building relationships and what to consider."
"Entertaining and informative. Great way to look at eliciting requirements."

"We at Watermark are very excited about the new collaboration with Concordia University. This option will help fill the void for some of our clients for whom it is difficult to attend and pay for training that isn’t tied directly toward a degree, either at the Bachelor’s or Master’s level," said Chris Anderson, Vice President of Sales and Delivery at Watermark Learning.
"We are pleased we can enrich the academic experience of Concordia students through the addition of targeted, relevant training on topics of high value to employers and students alike," said Dr. Eric LaMott, Concordia senior vice president and chief operating officer. "Watermark’s up-to-the-minute expertise aligns well with Concordia’s practitioner-focused degree programs. We appreciate the mutual benefit to both Concordia and Watermark students."
The collaboration will apply to all Watermark Learning open-enrollment classes currently offered in Minneapolis, MN, Chicago, IL, Phoenix, AZ, and Toronto, as well as additional cities to be added in the future. All internet-based virtual training courses are included and offer access to Concordia credits to students around the world.
As part of the agreement, Watermark will promote the collaborative courses and training to its clients and Concordia will promote the courses and training to its undergraduate, graduate and certificate students.
Watermark Learning will provide credentialed instructors for each class, and will provide Concordia with information on student attendance, assignments, and other accreditation information on which grades will be based. Watermark will also provide students with course materials and the courseware requirements necessary to receive college credit.
Concordia will register all "for credit" students, process their payments, answer student inquiries, and share registration information with Watermark. These students will have access to all Concordia resources, including the university’s library. Watermark Learning students who are not Concordia students will be enrolled as visiting students and receive a Concordia student identification number.
Concordia will also provide all "for credit" students with grades and transcripts upon request, and provide classroom space for courses held at Concordia as requested by Watermark.

Project R.E.A.L. is guided by an experienced facilitator with extensive background in Project Management and Business Analysis. Students are immersed in more than just a simulation, and allowed to expand on previous learning and job experience where they are prepared to handle obstacles that may impede project success.
Participants experience the pitfalls, roadblocks, curveballs, successes, and celebrations that happen on every project as part of a working team in a live, interactive, and safe environment. Structured flexibility is built into the course utilizing an outline combined with guidance from the facilitator and the overall approach of the project chosen by the students.
