Transforming the BA Practice: Beyond Business Analysis
Presented by: Josh Barnett
The modern business analyst is moving beyond business analysis and needs the support of a mature Community of Practice to flourish. In the context of modern consulting, this requirement becomes increasingly important to successfully deal with the challenges of geographically dispersed BAs working autonomously under flat management with little direct regular office contact.
At the same time, client demand for Business Analysis as a Service (BAaaS) has defined a new breed of business analyst with deep industry expertise along with cross-capability competencies supported by innovative approaches.
Discover how good business analysis is enabled by perspectives including agile, design thinking, change management and continuous improvement, and how these perspectives can be developed within your Community of Practice, with a particular focus on definition and delivery of a Business Analysis as a Service model.
Learning Objectives:
- Discover how BAaaS improves the delivery of business analysis
- Discover how BAaaS requires a different kind of business analyst
- Discover how to develop modern BA capability through a modern Community of Practice
