Evolution of the BA Team through Innovation and Transformation
Presented by: Cassie Dunn
In 2013, Pekin Insurance embarked on a journey to transform their business model and technology department. Through discovery and analysis, several new roles were created. One of those being the Business Analyst. We were living in a legacy world with antiquated processes, trying to keep up with our competitors. Enough was enough! As time progressed and technology started to disrupt the industry, the company adapted to the need of the business. Many challenges and opportunities were presented and as a team, we worked through them together.
Learn about disruptions in the insurance industry and what Pekin Insurance is doing to take on this age of innovation. This presentation will walk through the journey of business analysis discipline and models implemented at Pekin Insurance along with the impacts it had on our organization. Discover the advantages and disadvantages of each of those models and how our Business Analysis team adapted to fit the needs of our ever changing environment. Discover opportunities for how business analysts can drive innovation and value.
