The question most asked by business analysts is, “How do I deal with stakeholders?” closely followed by, “How do I make my organization understand what business analysis is and why it’s important to do it right?”
These questions highlight the dual challenge of effectively engaging stakeholders while demonstrating the strategic value of business analysis. In this roundtable, we will explore creative and innovative ways to engage stakeholders that leverage the power of storytelling, design thinking, collaborative workshops etc. By integrating creative techniques into stakeholder engagement, BAs can enhance collaboration, foster deeper understanding, and ensure that the correct requirements are defined. This not only improves project outcomes but also entrench the value of business analysis as a critical tool in achieving the organization’s strategic objectives. Through shared experiences and practical strategies, participants can learn how to navigate the complexities of stakeholder relationships and create compelling narratives that resonate with diverse audiences. By doing so, BAs can more effectively uncover insights, drive alignment, and facilitate successful change initiatives within their organizations.
