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.
