Our President, Helen Racette, was going to launch a personal BA Book Club, and we convinced her to join forces with her local IIBA Chapter. As you may have seen, if you follow Helen on LinkedIn, her first choice for the month of January 2025 is Angela Wick and Tim Coventry's book "Futureproof". All you have to do to participate is read the book, register for this virtual event and come prepared to chat with some of your fellow BAs. All opinions are welcome and we will go over some ground rules at the start of the first session to ensure that is the case.

 

In the case of Helen's first pick, the two authors, Tim and Angela, are aware of this BA Book Club and they are interested in any feedback from our discussion. We will have discussion questions sent in advance for your consideration.

Helen Racette, PEng, CBAP®, P2P has led a number of IT and controls projects in the private and public sectors for over 20 years.  From working for an original “Deming’s Disciples” on Statistical Process Control, through the origins of Six Sigma with experience in the automotive industry, to the application of Lean Six Sigma in Nortel as well as Medical and Pharmaceutical manufacturers throughout North America, she constantly strives to develop and share best-in-class deliverables with her teams and clients.  Helen currently works for Health Canada in their Digital Transformation Branch. Helen passed the CBAP® exam in 2017, has been a past speaker at Capital BA Day, and is always looking to expand her network and help share her knowledge while continually learning from others.
