Curiosity isn't just a 'soft skill' - it’s the internal compass that turns a standard analyst into the person who sees the possibilities others miss.

We’ll tackle the "curiosity killers" that stall progress, discover how your unique style of inquiry can become a high-impact asset and takeaway techniques to navigate the unknowns to elevate your business analysis.

- Breaking the Barriers: Identifying what stops us from asking questions and learning how to navigate those hurdles.

Business Analysts are uniquely positioned to ensure it's clarity, because they understand what most people miss: individual tasks sit within larger systems. This talk shows how your expertise in process design and information architecture translates directly to sustainable AI adoption at two scales: Personal - structuring AI collaboration so productivity compounds, not chaos. Team - building shared context that makes AI reliable for everyone. During this talk, you'll see why specification is your secret weapon. You already know how to design systems that scale.
