Business analysis adds value for organisations! Business analysis guides and facilitates changes in organisations. Sometimes this includes large and complex changes, sometimes the changes are smaller, but not less important. Examples are the development and implementation of (temporary) COVID19-policies, digital transformations, the implementation and roll-out of a new IT-system or business process, achieving BA community succes, product updates. These are all achievements to be proud of! The Business Analysis Achievement Award spotlights these achievements.
Some of the projects you did as a business analyst will stay with you for life.
