WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT / Elevate. Empower. Excel: Inspiring the Future of Business Analysis

What is passion without vision, what is vision without action, and what is action without planning? It all comes down to a futile exercise laden with regrets about never-ending procrastination and missed opportunities.  A melancholic tale of chasing one’s tail. To avoid this, is it imperative to be intentional about shifting gears to the next level. And this requires growth aspirations, action-oriented plans, and a mindset that is anchored on sustainability. These qualities do not only propel any discipline forward, but they also help to keep it relevant.

However, growth can only be achieved through moving out of the comfort zone. It is through the constant pursuit of new learnings, new meanings, new insights, and new light bulb moments that one moves from point A to point B. It is through allowing oneself to teach others and be taught by others. It is through constant hunger for the next level. It is this mindset that drives growth. It is this mindset that allows one to be able to sustain their discipline and master the art of their craft.

If we take our discipline, as practitioners, seriously, we must be on an unrelenting quest to unlearn and relearn. We must be on the drive to seek new ways of re-inventing ourselves. The worst enemy of continuous improvement is complacency. In the wake of the exponential progress that is continually made by our sister professions, complacency is a luxury we cannot afford. The demand for fresh and innovative thinking that is expected from business analysis is unabating. And the business analysis practice needs practitioners and leaders with growth aspirations. It needs these archetypes to ensure that it matures as a discipline and evades the risk of obliteration and obscurity.

The Business Analysis Summit 2023 aims to inspire and empower practitioners and stakeholders who have a vested interest in business analysis to collaborate in taking this discipline to new levels. It aims to create a platform that will propel the ambition of the IIBA South Africa Chapter to take business analysis practice one level up and ensure that it continues to mature as an indispensable practice. Whether you are a speaker, a sponsor, a trainer, a corporate member, or a practitioner at the Business Analysis Summit 2023, the golden thread that we aim to weave through everyone is the mindset of re-invention, growth, new heights, new levels, and new learnings. Do not miss this amazing opportunity to be part of this great business analysis event of the year in South Africa. Secure your seat now!

Business stakeholders look up to, among others, business analysis practitioners to help them conceptualise and develop customer-centric and sustainable solutions. Therefore, a business analyst must have the requisite skills and mindset that drives the development of sustainable business processes and solutions. By embedding sustainability in the business analysis processes, the business analyst can ensure that the practice remains integral to designing business solutions that deliver sustainable value.

Sustainable business analysis can be thought of as a skill, a mindset, or a way of working.

The only constant in life is change. Consequently, organisations are always evolving to perform better. More often than not, business analysts are at the forefront of this change. They help to bridge the gap between the ‘here and now’ and the future. However, much like the change that is happening around the role, the role itself is also evolving to include leadership and collaboration responsibilities. Business Analysts have the opportunity to influence, integrate, engage and excel. The context in which business analysts operate is no longer limited to software or service development. It has grown to encompass the whole enterprise. The next-level business analyst is a leader who collaborates! In the same vein, the business analysis practice needs organisational leaders who are bold enough to advocate for it as an essential service to facilitate change. These are leaders who believe in this practice. They are enablers.

Being a master in any field requires acquiring the right skills, and making continued effort to keep these skills fresh and relevant.  The business analysis discipline is no exception. And business analysts cannot escape the need and expectation to equip themselves with future skills and competencies. This is a cornerstone on which mastery of business analysis is anchored. It is one of the key ingredients required to enable business analysts to thrive in an evolving business landscape and power up into the next decade and beyond. New capabilities have to be defined, and existing ones repositioned to keep up with the new business and customer demands. This is a collective effort driven by education providers, academic institutions, subject matter experts and any institution that is shaping and reshaping emerging business analysis skills. It is about firming up the core skills and taking a peak into the future skills. It is about carving practictioners who are masters in the business analysis practice.

Maturing a business analysis practice is an exciting journey that holds the key to unlocking the immense potential to any organisation’s future success. One of the effective ways of transforming this practice is by understanding its current maturity level and defining its future maturity level. This involves identifying key milestones to measure how it is progressing to reach its target maturity objectives. As businesses increasingly recognise the value of business analysis in driving project success, the focus shifts towards envisioning a future where a business analysis team operates at the highest level of proficiency. It is time to explore the characteristics that define an organisation’s current business analysis workforce and how to transform it into the next level of maturity.

Business Analysis Summit Southern Africa is the official conference of the South African chapter of IIBA.
