Provider:  Modern Analyst

Business Analysts are familiar with automation. We’ve been recommending changes in business to further automate manual procedures and to improve the current automated processes.

However we are in the throes of a total disruption in which the mere automation of processes is no longer enough. BA’s are looking at fully automated stores, “smart” branch banking, our life at our fingertips in the form of cell phones, and more and more digitization of everything we do.

Does this change the role of the business analyst?

The question is, will the business analyst continue to react to changes as they are occurring and spend their time defining software requirements and user stories or will the business analyst be at the forefront of the entire transformation process in the organization?

This webinar provides a look at the disruption of digital transformation to business & to the job of the business analyst, and what the business analyst can do about it.

Topics: 

• Automation versus Transformation
• Digital disruption
• An eye toward innovation
• Maintain our business analysis edge
