An interactive session for business analysts who want meetings that generate better thinking, stronger engagement, and decisions that actually stick.

The IIBA Bay Area Chapter is co-hosting the IIBA Saskatchewan Chapter's event: Most organizations today are rapidly adopting AI. Copilots are being embedded into workflows, predictive analytics are expanding across functions, and generative AI tools are becoming commonplace. On the surface, it appears that enterprises are becoming AI-enabled. But beneath this activity lies a critical gap: AI adoption is not the same as AI readiness. In this session, explore what it truly means to become an AI-ready enterprise. Moving beyond tools and pilots, we examine the foundations that determine whether AI can consistently deliver trusted, scalable, and measurable business outcomes. The session will also highlight the cultural and leadership shifts needed to move from experimentation to sustained value, along with the evolving role of business analysts as key translators between business, data, and AI systems.
