Being a Value-Focused Business Analyst (BA)
Outcome-based VALUE FLOW between companies and customers is the fundamental reason companies exist and survive. It is a two-way street. Lack of enterprise alignment on this point is a root cause of organizational failure and dysfunction. It is impossible to be the best version of the company with the best outcomes without this.
Learn what this means in practice and how Business Analysts are uniquely positioned to help organizations rise to the occasion and close this gap for competitive advantage. Learn how to help organizations define and deliver value to take your role as a Business Analyst to the next level.

- Project vs Product vs Agile models – where do BAs fit?
- The unique role and opportunity for BAs
- Defining value in the context of BA work
- How AHC engagement process uses BA practices and artifacts

Networking will begin at 6:30 PM, the presentation will begin at 7:00 PM.
Anne HartleyMy name is Anne Hartley, and yes, I am called the “hat lady”. I began my professional journey as a “pioneering woman in technology”, starting as a programmer out of college in the mid-1970s. My path was founded on working for commercial software companies — startups and beyond — that included people and methodology leadership. Ultimately, I launched my boutique consulting practice with the theme of “bridging business and technology” that leveraged a 20-year tech background integrated with my mission to help clients solve problems with technology- enabled business services and create/deliver exceptional value: clarifying purpose, developing new capabilities through smart and effective ways of working, nurturing an innovative and continuous improvement mindset, and optimizing the use of technology. Setting the stage for success is a key theme and underlying approach driver, which brings us to the topic of this upcoming presentation to the RTP IIBA chapter!
