Key topics & learnings

The proposals collectively emphasize navigating the intersection of advanced technology and human dynamics, offering insights on leveraging AI agents and LLMs for quality validation while simultaneously deepening essential "human" skills such as empathy, stress management, and strategic influence to lead transformation in complex, regulated, or agile environments.

What is "beyond" according to the proposals

The concept of "beyond" is defined as transcending the traditional role of requirements gathering to embrace strategic leadership and psychological depth, moving past theoretical frameworks to address the "messy" reality of human behavior, failure, and organizational politics, while actively shaping the ethical and practical integration of AI rather than just reacting to it.

How will speakers engage participants and drive towards action

Speakers intend to shift from passive listening to active application through immersive methods such as "chaos" data gathering, real-time AI simulations, and role-playing workshops, ensuring attendees leave with tangible artifacts—including career roadmaps, decision frameworks, and immediate technical toolkits—that can be deployed the very next day.

Key topics & learnings

The sessions emphasize the evolution of the Business Analyst into a strategic leader who governs human-AI collaboration and treats "soft skills" like emotional intelligence and empathy as critical delivery capabilities, while simultaneously modernizing core methodologies to fix broken Agile processes and reimagine documentation as a knowledge asset.

What is "beyond" according to the proposals

The proposals define "beyond" as a transcendence of traditional requirements gathering, urging practitioners to expose the "invisible work" of sensemaking, reframe emotional availability as a professional necessity rather than a personality trait, and utilize insights from neuroscience and psychology to dismantle data illusions and influence stakeholders without authority.

How will speakers engage participants and drive towards action

Presenters plan to bridge the gap between theory and practice through immersive, interactive formats—such as live AI coding simulations, improv comedy exercises, and "chaos" workshops—that result in tangible takeaways like the "Rock Crusher Canvas," 90-day career acceleration plans, and specific decision checklists for immediate implementation
