When Jéan Raath asked me to present a workshop at the IIBA-SA Professional Development Day in Cape Town I jumped at the chance. I’m always keen to help out with events like these.
And there’s nothing more inspiring than an open and trusting invitation:
“Joe, you have creative freedom to do something fit for purpose, fresh & true to your style – bascially do what you like as long as it’s amazing.”
But ‘with great freedom comes great responsibility’…
At the core of a PDD is giving people tangible takeaways they can leave with on the day – building knowledge and enhancing skillsets as a Business Analyst.
We hemmed and hawed over a few topics:
- Smarter analyst careers
- Mobilising stakeholders
- Proper process analysis
Building your business analyst career the smarter way won out – because we felt it would give people the utmost value.
At the heart of this workshop is my contention that template-driven analysis is bad and that technique-driven analysis is good. And this session will explore business analysis techniques to help you own the template rather than letting the template own you.

I’m looking forward to it and I hope to see you there…
