Career Development and the Business Analysis Practice

This month IIBA Toronto will discuss with you, using a panel, your career development, the business analysis practice, and what you can do to rise up and meet the future.


All business practices evolve,

not all practitioners evolve.


The business practice of Business Analysis and its many neighboring business practices are continually evolving. In most cases, these practices in the hands of organizations move faster and further afar then the bodies of knowledge (BABOK, PMBOK, BIZBOK, ) that offer guidance and a commonly agreed upon framework of each business practice.


Come join us Thursday, January 23, 2020 6:30 pm to discuss developing your career with the brilliant pallet of the business analysis practice.

BACKGROUND


IIBA Survey Highlights The Prominence of Hybrid Roles

A recent IIBA Career Survey conducted in cooperation with KPMG strongly highlighted the entrenched enterprise practice of created hybrid roles across multiple business practices to better serve their needs.


IIBA Toronto Study Shows the Diversity of Business Analysis Roles

A recent IIBA Toronto and George Brown College Study highlighted the amazing Swiss Army knife versatility of the business analysis practice.


Forever Evolving Forever Changing

Whether its Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon, passionately speaking about the need for teams to communicate in a close organic way, or Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, discussing the evolution of business practices at Google and elsewhere over the past forty years and into the foreseeable future, there is the common understanding that everything keeps evolving and keeps changing.


Careers Without Repetitive Tasks

Carl Frey and Michael Osborne, both of Oxford University, recognize that creativity – social intelligence – social interaction – plus perception and manipulation are the capacities that are required moved forward as robotics and cognitive process automation will erase the practitioner’s need to perform groups of repetitive tasks and more.


Business Analysis Well Beyond the Shores of Software

The business practice of Business Analysis is firmly employed in software, data, process, various business architectures, finance, risk, sales, marketing and branding, HR, and more. Many practitioners have a mono view of what business analysis is and can be.

Come join us Thursday, January 23, 2020 6:30 pm to discuss your career and the brilliant spectrum of business analysis.
