We are partnering with Women's Economic Council (WEC) in this full-day hackathon where teams will focus on one of three business problems. Like most non-profit organizations, WEC faces business challenges in areas such as funding, succession planning and human resource management. This will be your team’s chance to use business analysis skills and techniques to make a positive impact for WEC. The lessons WEC will learn will then be shared to benefit other non-profits facing similar challenges.The teams are free to use any business analysis techniques they wish in order to come up with creative solutions to these problems.
As a business analyst participant, you will gain valuable experience (eligible for 7 PDs or CDUs) while working with your peers in the profession to solve real-world problems for a WEC. This is also an opportunity to build your professional network and benefit from mentorship between peers.
Workshop Objectives
To apply and learn business analysis techniques through real experience on a business problem
To serve your community by contributing your BA services to a non-profit organization
To collaborate with your peers in the community

Teams will be made of a mix of Senior, Intermediate and Novice BAs to allow for sharing of ideas and mentorship. When registering, please select the ticket matching your experience level.
