Business Analysis is changing fast, while their organizations are investing heavily in analytics, AI, and automation. That gap in business analysis is clear!

This session explores what it means to be a high-value BA in an AI-enabled enterprise. You’ll learn how modern BAs are expanding beyond traditional requirements and work into a new BA mandate. This session focuses on how you can evolve your skills, services, and mindset to stay relevant and influential. Attendees will walk away with a clear picture of how the BA role is shifting, and how to step into the new BA reality and future! (*You will be directed to the Portland chapter site to register.)
