Business Analyst World - Saskatchewan 2012

Delta Regina Hotel, Regina, Saskatchewan

Diversified Business Communications, in partnership with the Saskatchewan chapter of the IIBA, is pleased to announce the first BusinessAnalystWorld conference in Saskatchewan. With the support of the local IIBA Chapter, the goal of the conference is to provide the insight, education and relationships necessary for project success. IIBA's industry leading events uniquely empower Business Analysis professionals with the resources and tools necessary to ensure that projects are clearly defined and flawlessly executed, enabling BA's to make the right decisions at every level in the organization and to increase professional success.

BusinessAnalystWorld Saskatchewan has been designed in close consultation with the industry to provide a comprehensive solution to the needs of the modern BA and PM professional.  Learn from the real-world experiences of industry experts and practitioners who will show you how to achieve outstanding business results. Symposium sessions are organized for easy navigation of the conference program.

Join IIBA's CEO, Kathleen Barret, as she discusses "The Evolution of a Profession".  Until recently, Business Analysis Professionals have had to rely on their own experiences and the shared experiences of their peers to provide them with guidance on how to do their jobs properly. There were no external standards or professional body which focused on defining the standards and practices of business analysis. That changed in March 2004 with the establishment of International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA^®). And on March 31, 2009, IIBA^® released Version 2 of The Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge^®. The BABOK^® captures the sum of knowledge within the profession of Business Analysis and reflects currently accepted practice.

Keynote Speaker - Kathleen Barret

In June of 2009, Kathleen Barret became International Institute of Business Analysis's full-time President and CEO after having held the role as a volunteer since the organization's inception in October 2003. IIBA, a professional association for Business Analysts, focuses on defining and enhancing the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge® (BABOK®) and implementing a certification program for qualified practitioners.

With over 25 years of experience in information technology, Kathleen has held many roles including most recently, managing offshore software development work for a large financial service organization. Her involvement in the field of business analysis began when she was asked to create a centre of competency for BAs for her company. She is experienced in CMMI and benchmarking, and through her many years of consulting, brings cross industry knowledge to her role at IIBA.

Registration is now open.
