As we wrap up 2024, it’s time to look ahead and prepare for a transformative year in business analysis.
In 2025, Business Analysts will find themselves at the heart of these innovations, shaping how AI collaborates with humans to solve complex problems.
Expect shifts in core responsibilities as BAs become interpreters and guides for these advanced systems, driving insights that are both strategic and actionable. Embracing these changes will be key for those looking to thrive in the upcoming year.
The landscape is evolving faster than ever, with the following being a focus in 2025:
Business Analysts and Product Owners will need elevated skills in the BA Foundations, AI capabilities, Leadership, Influence, Decision Making and Problem Solving to meet these new challenges.
Here’s to a bold 2025—where we step into a future where Business Analysts lead the charge in intelligent decision-making!
AI Tools and Vendors for Business Analysts and Product Owners using AI:
In Jan 2025, I will be starting a series of Linkedin Live shows to educate the BA Community on how AI tools are creating the future of #BusinessAnalysis and can help teams work better with requirements information and analysis, do higher quality work, at a better pace, and build BA skills.
If you would like to showcase a tool, or learn more about a tool, send me a message here on Linkedin Messaging and let me know about a tool you would like to learn more about, or demo to BAs on my show.
I am so compelled with what I am seeing, and how this is changing our profession, I feel the need to help educate the global BA community in a way that helps BAs imagine their future!

2 个月Enhancing the skill set of business analysts is important. I'm curious on how goal setting will teach me the right stuff to make an impact. Funny enough I could be low performing, but still gain human traction on what matters. It's not better, faster or cheaper business analysis, but being a happier analyst for society gain! On the other side being on a high performance sport ba team is a great ride.
