Keynote

Business analysts are often constrained to working within the IT department. Whilst this is a necessary and valued role there is also scope for BAs to apply their skill set more widely. The business analyst is taught to think holistically, look at the bigger picture and consider options for improvement. As businesses become more complex, so do the business problems and not all of them can be solved by technology.  There is a growing need for BAs to remove the IT shackles and apply their BA skills strategically to improve the business, not just the IT.

Lynda will introduce you to a process for business analysis along with techniques that demonstrate where and how BAs can get involved and add value more strategically.  Sharing her own experiences Lynda will start you on the journey from IT business analyst to strategic business thinker.
