Join Maria Montgomery for an engaging and practical session designed for BA
practitioners, team leaders, and business transformation professionals. It will cover how
to assess current BA capabilities, identify gaps, prioritise areas for growth, align BA with
organisational goals, and build a roadmap for continuous improvement. The session will
also touch on how emerging technologies, including AI, can support BA practices — from
improving analysis efficiency to generating actionable insights.
