Aviva business analyst David Beckham is keynoting at the Innovation, Business Change & Technology Forum on how his profession can help IT and other workers through trauma of change programmes.
Business analysts should act as the “conscience of the organisation”, as diplomats who bring a human touch to the trauma are often involved in change management programmes.
David Beckham, who advances these ideas, is a senior business analyst at insurance company Aviva, and he will be keynoting at this week’s Innovation, Business Change & Technology Forum conference, in London.
Beckham was diagnosed with the neuro-degenerative Parkinson’s disease in 2010, at the age of 43, and has drawn lessons from the trauma of his diagnosis that he thinks other IT professionals can learn from to manage the condition. “I’d rather not have gotten Parkinson’s, but it has enabled me to see and appreciate what is important,” he says.
At this week’s conference in London, he will explain the personal impact Parkinson’s had on him and how it has deepened his understanding of the way change works.
