Customer Reviews
Sr HR Analyst, MWRDGC
I thoroughly enjoyed the first 4 podcasts on Business Analysis. Although perhaps intended for Business Analysts involved with the development of software programming, the subject matter is very germaine to Human Resources professionals, Management Analysts or Project Managers who deal with very similar issues and obstacles in the course of their work. Whether eliciting the requirements for a new project, analyzing current business processes in an effort to streamline and save on resources without sacrificing efficacy, or developing training classes on new business practices for delivery to an employee population, the concepts and principles Mr. Saboe presents are immediately understandable and useful. I look forward to episodes 5 and beyond!
Family Law Paralegal
I would like to indicate that my comment pertains to Episode 4: Defeat the Meeting Super Villains. As a Family Law Paralegal, my role in meetings (whether with a client or opposing party) generally falls to the "mime" character, which he illustrates in a way that is so true to the reality of a meeting. After listening to Mr. Saboe's podcast, I am taking step to a more active role, not in the sense where I will be a "dominator", but as an "agenda enforcer", "elmoer" and "parking lot manger". Many times meetings with client go awry because the client is concerned with too many different aspects (like the "multitasker") and not with the issues at hand.
I very much enjoyed Mr. Saboe's podcast so far. He has a unique way of breaking down complex ideas and putting them into easy to understand terms. Additionally he has a strong and stable cadence, which makes it easy to listen to, but not become disengaged. I am looking forward to hearing his future podcasts.
Diamond in the Rough
Great podcast, whether you're a business analyst or simply someone who collaborates with other people to get things done. High quality, informative, and packed with great ideas. Rarely do podcasts begin so well. Can't wait to hear the podcast grow.
