“We are not just note-takers. We are strategic thinkers, change agents, and future builders.”
That was the tone set at PDD 2025 — a day dedicated to bold ideas, real stories, and practical tools for the evolving Business Analyst.


The IIBA BA Day with Wits was a vibrant and inspiring event aimed at introducing students to the dynamic world of Business Analysis. Hosted in collaboration with Wits University, the session offered a mix of keynote talks, global insights, interactive activities, and motivational moments—all designed to spark curiosity and empower future professionals.

The ecosystem of business analysis practice is important in shaping the practice and ensuring a vibrant market for analysts. This month we had a productive time connecting with one of our key stakeholders in the ecosystem - Partners. IIBA defines "Partners" as all the stakeholders in corporate, government, academia, and education provision. Although the Chapter is not directly responsible for looking after partners, we see Partners as key stakeholders in building a robust and vibrant business analysis industry in South Africa.
