As many of you know, I enthusiastically believe in the value that good quality Business Analysis can bring, and I love speaking, writing and presenting on this and many other topics! In a break from my normal ‘blog’ style, I have a very quick update for you.
It’s been a somewhat ‘unusual’ year for events and conferences, hasn’t it? I was very pleased to see that the BA Conference Europe is going virtual, meaning that it’s possible to attend from anywhere in the world. I’m really excited to announce I’ll be speaking, with a session entitled: Systems Thinking: Practical BA Techniques for Business Agility. I can’t wait!
Attending the conference is always one of the highlights of my year, as it provides a real melting pot of ideas. It’s a great place to meet other BAs and exchange knowledge and I can’t wait to see how this translates to a virtual format.

The conference takes place on 21 – 23 September. You can find full details of the conference here:

And if you’re on Twitter, you can keep tabs on the preparations for the conference (and the conference itself) using the #BA2020 hashtag.
I hope to see you there, and hope to catch you for a virtual coffee in the networking area!
