We were delighted to welcome Kevin Brennan, Chief Business Analyst and Executive Vice President for IIBA® to the UK, giving you the opportunity to hear from and interact with him!

Presentation: BABOK v3 and the Future of Business Analysis

Businesses are looking for a new breed of Business Analyst: one that creates business solutions and ensures that change initiatives deliver business value. This means expanding the BA role from a focus on requirements management and project success to focus on business success, which requires strategic thinking and the ability to drive organizational innovation and improvement. Kevin Brennan discusses how the BABOK® Guide v3 supports this direction by including new and improved information on the performance of business analysis at all levels of the enterprise, from strategic change and business architecture to the delivery of process improvement and business systems.
