Editor's Notes

  • #3: Growth in BA demand The need for speed Data is everywhere You are only as good as your mobile capability Attributes of a great BA Tools, methodologies Staying at the forefront of change
  • #4: Like the revolutions before it, the Digitisation revolution with increase wealth and quality of life, all the ones before did also. Ordering a ride Listening to music Booking a flight Making a payment Buying a product Transportation, telecoms and logistics prices are dropping
  • #5: IOT 2020 26m Only a small fraction of transactions are fully digitised IOT, Big Data, Machine Learning, Mobile, Social, Blockchain - Bitcoin (no geo boundaries, min regulation) Faster, more agile, more experimental IT. Launch an interim product, improve it using customer feedback Amazon has 1000 people working on AI alone. They are investing heavily in robotics and drones.
  • #6: We all like to think about it as a virtual currency, but what other possibilities exist? Imogen Heap, british singer songwriter, has posted 1st song on blockchain, with a smart contract attached around use and payment Every aspect of financial services - moving money, storing money, trading money, attesting money, lending money - all distruptable No more fiddling with your CV after a bad gig Can foreign aid go to a beneficiary rather than a beaurocracy? Does blockchain REPLACE Uber and Airbnb? There is NO industry that is not going to be disrupted by this technology. How can you as a BA not be on top of it?
  • #7: Misalignment of current jobs on offer and workforces skillset.
  • #9: Use only university degrees from limited universities as the pool Dont have the time to onboard and upskill grads with gaps Traditional grad programmes are too generic
  • #10: Long term - fix education Better tools for assessing potential Bridging the gap between education and work
