•

0 likes•2,337 views

The idea of Communities of Practice (CoP) having existed for last 25 years. Members mutually discovering which insights from the past are relevant in the present and finding ways to share their tacit knowledge represents the basis of each Community. So, how can the Community go beyond networking and sharing, being at the same time surrounded by complexity, dependencies, intensive collaborating and agile way of working. How can you manage to become the next 3.0 Community of Practice?

“Community … all about identifying
the people around you with whom you
can create common, passionate cause.
And it´s about ignoring the
conventional wisdom of company
politics and instead playing the game
by very different rules.”

BA and Beyond

What Business Analysis tools and techniques you know of, use and find helpful. In a group you could share your knowledge for a specific technique, or as a group you could find out more for the tool and technique new to you. Then you could decide which tools and techniques are worth to be learned, practiced and taken in your toolkit. You will use the BCS book "Business Analysis Techniques: 99 Essential Tools for Success", by James Cadle, Debra Paul and Paul Turner. You will widen your BA horizon and could bring the workshop at home in your organisation for your own Tools and Techniques Triage. The “Tools and Techniques Triage” workshop was delivered first at Business Analysis Manager Forum November 2018 in London by representatives of Raytheon, that used the approach to understand the skills they have in their newly established BA team and to decide on path forward. See http://www.bamanagerforum.org/events/ It then has been used in Bulgarian IIBA Chapter in their initiative Business Analysis Practitioner Forum, where Milena has been the workshop facilitator and has helped the teams with unknown tools and techniques.

BA and Beyond

Do you believe you behave ethically at work? Have you even thought about it? The world we live in has moved from a physical realm to one where we now live partly digitally. It is growing organically, with every bright idea leading to a thousand new opportunities. But who decides what is the right thing to do in this new world? Well, we do! The Business Analysts and the teams that create it. So far the results have been patchy. There are some great forces for good and some dangerous abuses of new technologies.

BA and Beyond

Probably you have heard the abbreviation RPA or Robotic Process Automation. RPA is a software technology that enables you to build digital colleagues or software robots who perform a wide range of repetitive administrative processes, such as order entry, master data updates, accounting processes, etc. For 2 years in a row, Robotic Process Automation is the fastest growing market in enterprise software. RPA is riding high on the hype curve, with stories about instant ROI, full deployment by citizen developers and the robot apocalypse on the labour market never far away. This session will provide a pragmatic and down-to-earth perspective on RPA. What is RPA really about? How can this technology be implemented? What are its abilities and limitations? What are some pitfalls to avoid and best practices to adopt when deploying RPA?

BA and Beyond 20 - Johan Merckx - Being a Conscious Business Analyst

BA and Beyond

The ‘HOW’ of business analysis is probably even more important than the ‘WHAT’. While the ‘WHAT’ focuses on models, methods, techniques, and deliverables, the ‘HOW’ determines how much impact you can really have. In this session, we explore the crucial mindset and soft skills required to connect with customers, end-users, stakeholders, partners, and technical people. Because the quality of your intervention depends on the level of consciousness with which you connect with your environment.

BA and Beyond 20 - Jan de Vries - What can Antifragility do for business anal...

BA and Beyond

This presentation/workshop is about mapping the consequences of antifragility for the profession of the modern business analyst. An antifragile system or organisation has the ability to become stronger as a result of unexpected events, malfunctions and errors. In other words, 'what does not kill you, makes you stronger'. But most organisations and systems are designed to deal exclusively with known risks. And process designers and IT departments have invested heavily in preventing errors. What would happen if you designed a system while assuming that all components can and will fail. And additionally generate random failures to test the resilience of the system. The Chaos Monkey, designed by Netflix, is one of the best - technical - examples in this field. What does this approach mean for business analysis, for the 6 BABOK areas and especially for Strategy Analysis and Solution Evaluation? After all, how antifragile should an organisation become? To what extent is an organisation prepared to invest in this? And what is technically possible at all?

BA and Beyond 20 - Ines Vanlangendonck - Stand out and apply empathy

BA and Beyond

Empathy; the ability to share someone else's feelings or experiences by imagining what it would be like to be in that person's situation. Analysts who apply empathy in their work can do magic, especially in large and complex organisations. But what does it mean, to apply empathy in business analysis tasks? We have all learned that listening to end users and managing stakeholder expectations is important. Yet we continue to communicate through requirement documents, invite participants to interactive workshops in a hostile environment, create email conversations with extensive CC audiences.... In this talk Ines will share what true empathy looks like in the tasks of a business analyst and how the devil is, as always, in the details.

Let's learn from IIBA's 17 years of experience in building and supporting global, regional, and local BA communities. - How does IIBA support its volunteer community? - How can the IIBA BA Competency Model help you and your team advance? - How is IIBA Brussels Chapter engaging and supporting BAs in Belgium? - And most importantly, what can we do for you and your community? Join local, regional, and global IIBA representatives Kristof Peeters, Filip Hendrickx, Victoria Cupet, and Danelkis Serra in this interactive session, and share your needs and ideas to help us better support you.

BA and Beyond

Who says Agile, says iterations. Who says iterations, says continuous change. IT Systems developed under the Agile paradigm, must support continuous change, or after some iterations, the system is no longer evolvable, no longer produces value and breaks. The question thus becomes, how can you make sure your system will be evolvable ? During this talk I want to share with you: - What evolvability actually is? - What are the necessary conditions for evolvability? - What you need to change in the way of development, to have evolvability. This talk goes beyond “make loose coupling” and “use REST API”, and focuses and real and actionable advice on how to build evolvable systems.

BA and Beyond

Since the decision of the Flemish government in 2015 to establish a shared HR service center for all Flemish departments and agencies, this HR agency (“AgO”) is growing every year, welcoming new HR staff every time. To tackle the challenges that accompany this huge transformation, such as the integration of new staff in the organisation and the alignment and standardisation of processes while keeping all operations running, AgO decided to become a process oriented organisation, focussing on the power of processes. This presentation shows the road that AgO has travelled so far and gives a view on the next steps.

BA and Beyond

Good software is not only error-free software, but more importantly software that does what the customer needs. This seems obvious, but in reality, the communication gap between business professionals and software development teams still causes a loss of time, money and good will. Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) tries to bridge the gap between the different stakeholders. At UCLL, we started a research project to promote this methodology with Belgian companies. We are strong believers and try to find out why BDD it is not more widely used. The goal is to develop an ‘implementation model’, a set of best practices, do’s and don’ts, helping companies to successfully distill high-quality specifications that can guide the development and testing process from the start of a project. We would love to share our experiences, talk about the problems we come across, and discuss the way we handle them.

BA and Beyond 20 - Dennis Aarts and Bert Heymans - Model Driven Engineering

BA and Beyond

As business analysts we often hear the business complain about the IT department and their solutions. The IT department, for example, is often found to be unresponsive enough, whereas their solutions often don't capture the actual complexity of a problem. On the other hand, we hear the IT department complain about a continuously increasing workload. Using the capabilities of Model Driven Engineering, the realization of software using modeling tools alone, we enable both parties to focus on their own domain, decreasing the gap between them. In this topic we will discuss how case management, business process management and decision management can be applied effectively in low code platforms to enable the business to define and maintain their business logic and how to enthuse the IT department about such platforms.

BA and Beyond

Successfully designing, deploying and launching AI solutions in organizations and on markets remains quite a challenge today. Although AI algorithms have been around for 40 years, there is still room for improvement to understand the key concepts of successful AI initiatives. In our AI improvement journey, we propose a smart guide for analyzing, architecting and launching successful AI solutions. Understanding the total spectrum of AI makes it easier to understand why we need the “all inclusive appoach”, where all business domains are involved and must work together in co-creation. As consistency and alignment are key, we introduce insights into the new way of working, where transparency, co-creation, trust and sharing (instead of owning) are fundaments for effective and efficient solution design.

BA and Beyond 20 - Bas Van Gils - Data management: from the trenches

BA and Beyond

If processes are the value creation engine of the organisation, then data is the fuel. Data is the critical resource for almost any organisation and should be managed as such. Organizations embarking on the data management journey often complain about yet another management framework to take into account, expecting more work, more overhead, more investment, and less agility. They couldn’t be further from the truth. In this talk, Bas will show that there is a vast body of practical guidance (theory, cases) that can be leveraged for building a data management capability. He will also show that people are the key to the balancing act between strategy and execution, business and IT, and between a top-down and bottom-up approach to data management.

BA and Beyond 20 - Antonio Gonzalez Sanchis - Add some RICE to your organisation

BA and Beyond

Is your company always focused on one-time opportunities? Are you always unclear on what requirements to clarify next? Projects changing all the time? I've been there. In April 2019 I joined an Artificial Intelligence company which was mainly driven by sales opportunities with no focus on long-term goals. You can imagine how difficult it was for me to define product requirements that made sense in the long-run and to write user stories that met teams' "definition of ready". In this talk I want to share one technique that helped me aligning stakeholders towards priorities and being clear of what was coming next: RICE prioritization. I will share my struggles and successes on getting there.

BA and Beyond 18 Evening Event - Adrian Reed - Leading from the Middle

BA and Beyond

There are many techniques that we can draw on to analyze, specify and design new innovative business solutions. Yet too often change fails. It is oh-so-easy to deliver everything we were asked to deliver, only to find out that the situation was far more complex than we thought. In many cases the people aspects of change are the hardest, and we draw intuitively on our ‘softer’ interpersonal skills. We “lead from the middle” and influence without authority. In some cases it may be our interpersonal skills that help enable us to turn a failing project into a resounding success. In this presentation, we explore some practical techniques for working with stakeholders in tricky, political, and conflict-laden situations. You will walk away with tips and techniques that you can use immediately on your next tricky project!
