In this episode of Business Analysis Live!, Susan Moore is joined by Deirdre Caren, Founder and Director of Agora Insights Ltd, for an in-depth conversation about the evolving role of business analysts in the age of AI. They discuss what it means to treat AI as a stakeholder, not just a tool, and why documenting alone is no longer enough to call yourself a business analysis professional in the AI era. They unpack the concept of prompt engineering—highlighting how business analysts are already well-equipped for it—and explore the mindset shifts required to adapt through learning and unlearning. The conversation turns to the value of context making, the importance of conceptual models, and how AI can enhance human skills rather than replace them. You’ll also hear about real examples of AI agents trained for business analysis and architecture roles, and how BAs can play a key part in shaping AI strategy within their organizations. Whether you're curious, cautious, or fully immersed in AI, this episode will inspire you to think critically about your future in the profession.
