Following your feedback from our survey last month, we would like to invite you to our next Projects & Business Analysis SIG event on Tuesday 22nd September, where we will explore one of the most valuable professional skills for project managers and business analysts: Managing Up.
Whether you're working with senior stakeholders, project sponsors, department leaders, or executive teams, your ability to build strong relationships, communicate effectively, and influence decision-making can have a significant impact on project success.
During this interactive session, we'll discuss:
- What "managing up" really means in a project and business analysis context
- Building trust and credibility with senior stakeholders
- Communicating effectively with leadership teams
- Managing expectations and navigating difficult conversations
- Influencing decisions without formal authority
- Practical techniques and real-world examples you can apply immediately
This session will provide valuable insights and actionable tips to help you strengthen stakeholder relationships, increase your influence, and enhance your effectiveness as a project professional.
We encourage attendees to bring their own experiences, challenges, and questions to what promises to be an engaging and collaborative discussion.

17:45-18:00 - Welcome and Introductions
