Leveraging a Business Analysis Maturity Model presented by Dave Heidt, Enterprise Agility and VP of Marketing and Relationships, Chicagoland IIBA Chapter. Join us to hear Dave Heidt share his views on the Business Analyst Maturity Model (BAMM). Today's conventional approach to requirements analysis and engineering is limited in its value as organizations attempt to address demands for increased innovation, rapid product and service rollout, outsourcing and new technology enablers such as BPMS, business rules engines and SOA. Additionally, the agile development movement and IT-centric methods for analyzing and designing software solutions don't accurately represent how business processes, rules, events, knowledge and human to system interaction fit together. This presentation introduces a new way of thinking about the role of the business analyst. It provides organizations with a path to transition their business analysts from their "go-between" role for business and IT to a valued advocate for the business that has an instrumental role in designing key aspects of a business solution. Mr. Heidt's focus is on tailoring business analysis frameworks where integrated business processes, rules and automation specifications are keys to increasing business agility and reducing operational costs. He is instrumental in the roll-out of the Business Change Ecosystem which includes the Business Analysis and Architecture Maturity Models ( www.theBAMM.org) along with the Business Engineering Framework which guides mentoring and leadership activities for clients in the areas of business analysis, rules-driven business process management and business process transformation. Frequently presenting and writing on the topics of business analysis, architecture, process and rules, he provides mentoring and leadership services for Fortune 1000 clients. He is an advisory board member at Northwestern University for their Business Analyst certificate program, an IIBA Endorsed Educational Provider and a member of the OMG's Business Architecture Working Group.
