Amplifying Agility with AI and Insightful Business Analysis
In this episode of our podcast, Susan and Scott discuss the recent book launch of Futureproof: Amplifying Agility with AI and Insightful Business Analysis focusing on AI and business analysis. They are joined by Angela Wick and Tim Coventry, authors of the book, who share insights on the urgency of business analysis in an AI environment, the AI Accelerator Framework, and the upskilling needed for BAs in an AI-driven world.
Here are three key takeaways from our conversation:
Continuous Analysis in an AI World: Angela and Tim emphasize the importance of viewing analysis as a continuous process rather than a phase in a project. With the rise of AI, the focus shifts towards ongoing analysis, hypothesis creation, and fast experimentation to drive decision-making and value creation.
Upskilling for Success: The authors highlight the significance of upskilling for business analysis professionals in the era of AI. They stress the importance of gaining practical experience, seeking mentorship, and engaging in social learning to enhance skills beyond traditional classroom knowledge.
AI Accelerator Framework: Angela and Tim introduce the AI Accelerator Framework discussed in the book, which helps BAs understand how analysis fits into the broader context of business results, user behaviors, and strategy. This framework encourages BAs to focus on creating value-driven hypotheses, conducting experiments, and linking business outcomes to user behaviors.
Join Susan, Scott, Angela and Tim as they explore the future of business analysis in the age of AI, discuss practical examples and vignettes from the book, and provide valuable insights for professionals looking to adapt to the evolving landscape of business analysis.
