Join us for a provocative session on how including business analysts at the strategy table can sharpen strategic vision, align it with operational realities, and drive innovation that sticks. Prepare to be inspired, challenged, and equipped with bold ideas at this must-attend event with Maxime Lacasse.

Event Description

Imagine a world where strategic decisions are made without the critical insights of those who know the business best—the business analysts. In too many organizations, this is the reality, and the consequences are dire: brilliant strategies that falter in execution, opportunities missed, and competitive edges dulled. In this provocative session, we’ll dive into the untapped potential of business analysts as the unsung heroes of strategic success. We'll reveal how sidelining them from strategy discussions is not just a mistake—it's a missed opportunity that could spell the difference between success and failure in today’s fast-paced market.
 
Through this presentation, we’ll demonstrate the transformative power of including business analysts at the strategy table. You’ll discover how their unique perspective can sharpen your strategic vision, align it with operational realities, and drive innovation that sticks.
 
This isn't just about closing the gap between strategy and execution—it's about reimagining the role of business analysis as the beating heart of strategic decision-making. Prepare to be inspired, challenged, and equipped with bold ideas to make business analysts indispensable to your strategic success.
