Ken Fulmer
President
IIBA International

Will There Be A Need
For Business Analysts
In the Digital World?

Yes the need for
good requirements
never goes away!

But...

Ken Fulmer will be presenting some new thinking from IIBA about the evolving skills and competencies that are emerging on the global market.  More of the traditional roles and professional boundaries are getting blurred, and companies are looking for more the “right mix” of skills, than they are for a generalist.  This is driven by new demands for market response timing, and by significant changes in technology, and new competitors disrupting markets.  

Ken will discuss some of the key skills in Agile, and Digital that sit on top of the traditional knowledge areas, tasks, and techniques of business analysis.  The conclusion is that things are rapidly changing, but that the demand for business analysts is surging, but with new skill requirements. 

This research based effort is a collaboration of IIBA, and many of our corporate partners and thought leaders from around the world.  The thinking is still taking shape, but will drive IIBA as it seeks to stay current and relevant to the market.  Hear how IIBA sees the future of the profession and how it interacts with other professions.
