A Letter to My Fellow BAs: Why Learning AI Takes a Tribe
I’ve been hearing from so many of you lately—BAs who are curious, maybe even a bit overwhelmed, about how AI fits into our world. I get it.
Dear Fellow Business Analysts,
I’ve been hearing from so many of you lately—BAs who are curious, maybe even a bit overwhelmed, about how AI fits into our world. I get it. AI is transforming business analysis at lightning speed, and we all want to harness its power—whether it’s using ChatGPT to draft requirements faster or predictive analytics to spot risks before they hit.
👉 But here’s the honest truth: learning AI isn’t like learning traditional BA skills. It’s not something you can just master by taking a course and calling it a day.
AI evolves daily, and so must we.
It’s messy 💩, exciting 🎉, and sometimes daunting 👻—but the real magic happens when you learn alongside others on the same journey…
You need a tribe to share what’s working (and what’s not), to swap tools, and to push each other forward. That’s why I created NextGen BA Society—a global community where we can figure this out together.
I wanted a space where BAs at every level—whether you’re just starting out, growing your skills, or leading the charge—can come together. In the society, you’ll find monthly live AI & BA training sessions where we dive into real-world applications, like how to use AI for elicitation or process automation.
There’s also a self-paced AI course on the BAE Portal for those who want to dig deeper at their own speed, plus tools and resources we’re constantly exploring as a group. We are all housed in our dedicated Mighty Networks hub, where you can post, chat, and connect with peers and experts worldwide.
For those eager to dive deeper, NextGen BA Society offers different levels of engagement—whether you’re just starting out, looking to grow, or ready to lead the way.
There’s a place for everyone at all levels of experience and interest.
Curious about what’s right for you?
Check out the options and find your fit here: NextGen BA Society
This isn’t about selling you something—it’s about inviting you into a journey I’m on too and I believe we’re strong together.
If you’re ready to learn, grow, and lead in this AI-driven world, come join us at NextGen BA Society.
Let’s shape the future of Business Analysis—side by side.
