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.
