In this episode of Business Analysis Live, Susan Moore, Community Engagement Manager at the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA), is joined by guest co-host Andy Grazebrook, IIBA Partner Manager for Europe, to explore how to get started in business analysis. They talk with Stuart Ecuyer, who leads a program within his organization that takes an innovative approach to helping aspiring business analysts enter the profession. The discussion explores how the program is set up, offering participants a mix of learning opportunities and hands-on experience within the organization. Junior business analysts not only learn business analysis but also immediately apply their knowledge to real-world projects, making the learning experience highly practical and impactful. We meet 2 new business analysts from the first cohort of the program, Leah Charlotte Facey and Marie Ete, who share their journeys, what they've learned, and how they are applying those lessons in their roles. Susan and Andy explore the ways they've entered the business analysis field—whether through formal education or transitioning from another role. They also discuss the importance of the soft skills (essential skills!) that are transferrable from their previous education and which are critical for those just starting out. They also touch on the key role mentorship and community support play in shaping early career growth. Packed with personal stories, practical advice, and encouragement for aspiring business analysts, this episode offers valuable insights not only for beginners but also for business leaders looking to develop similar training programs in their organizations. Stuart’s program serves as a model for how structured learning combined with real-world application can help organizations grow internal talent while delivering tangible results. Whether you're just beginning your business analysis career or looking to develop talent within your organization, this episode offers plenty of takeaways and inspiration.

In this episode of Business Analysis Live!, host, Susan Moore, is joined by Bindu Channaveerappa, business analysis practitioner, speaker and author of the new book,  Cybersecurity and Business Analysis, to discuss the connection between cybersecurity and business. The episode begins by addressing common misconceptions about cybersecurity, such as the idea that it is strictly a technical domain, and introduces a broader perspective that involves business processes, human factors, and proactive risk management. Bindu explains how traditional cybersecurity approaches, which often focus on technical solutions like firewalls and anti-virus systems, are incomplete without incorporating business analysis. She emphasizes the concept of "shifting left," a strategy that encourages business analysis professionals to consider security from the earliest stages of a project. This proactive approach helps prevent costly issues later in the project lifecycle, ensuring security is integrated as a core component rather than a last-minute addition. The conversation then explores into Bindu’s personal journey of discovering how cybersecurity and business analysis intersect, including how preparing for IIBA’s Certificate in Cybersecurity Analysis (CCA) made her an advocate for greater awareness among business analysis professionals. She shares how her experiences inspired her to write a book that provides practical strategies for integrating cybersecurity into everyday business analysis activities. Bindu highlights how self-reflection is a core competency for business analysis professionals in understanding biases, evaluating decisions, and analyzing risk more effectively. By applying reflective practices, business analysis professionals can become better equipped to identify vulnerabilities, consider ethical implications, and make more informed decisions when it comes to cybersecurity.

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.

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.

Susan and Scott are joined by special guest Tamara Copple, Product Owner for Children International, to talk about Working with Developers. Key take-aways: When working with developers (or software engineers), do your homework. Bring your research and be prepared to share what you've learned about the problem or opportunity to get the developer up to speed. Provide business context. As a business analysis professional, you may understand more about the business than the developer. Offering this context can provide important background information needed to perform work. Know your audience. Understand what your developers need from you and how they want it delivered. Sometimes, this may not be the way you have learned to write requirements. But knowing how to write (or communicate) with developers will result in better outcomes! Understand your technology. You don't need to know how to code! But understanding the features and limitations of the technologies you work with can help you communicate better with developers.
