Discover how to turn business analysis into measurable performance outcomes in this practical session with guest speaker Conrad Gagner in Brisbane.

About the Event

Business analysis often focuses on requirements, processes, and stakeholder alignment, but many organisations still struggle to translate this into measurable performance outcomes.

In this session, Conrad Gagner explores how principles from manufacturing, such as process control, systems thinking, and continuous improvement can be applied to business and technology environments.

Through a combination of practical insights and an interactive Lego activity, participants will experience how value is progressively built across stages and what happens when structure, clarity, and governance are missing.

This session is designed to bridge the gap between analysis and execution, helping Business Analysts and professionals better understand how to deliver reliable, outcome-focused results.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session, you will be able to:
  • Explore how a manufacturing perspective can help make sense of delivery challenges
  • Recognise how value is progressively built across a value chain
  • Identify the impact of poor handoffs, unclear requirements, and lack of structure
  • Appreciate the importance of governance and quality checkpoints
  • Understand how better communication and clarity can improve delivery outcomes
