SYDNEY Presentation: Insight to impact – Linchpin to Strategic Decision making
The presentation explores the role and the boundaries of the BA role in decision-making.
The session highlights how BAs can remain actively engaged in decision-making while staying focused on their role. By leveraging practical frameworks for decision facilitation, the session demonstrates how to avoid the common pitfalls of being a “note taker” without breaching the accountability of decision-making (which often lives with other stakeholder roles)
The presentation provides practical guidance on navigating groupthink (the tendency of a group to conform to the opinions or decisions of the majority, often leading to suboptimal outcomes) and bias (distorted perspectives that influence decisions). The presentation provides strategies and methods for business analysts to identify and mitigate groupthink and bias in decision-making processes.
In summary, the presentation emphasizes the value of BAs as analytical and strategic partners in decision-making while also providing guidance on maintaining objectivity, avoiding common cognitive biases, and utilizing practical frameworks for effective decision facilitation.
