Workshop

Future-Proof Your BA Role with Generative AI

Stijn Van Schoonlandt / Full-day workshop

9 December 2025 / 9:00 – 17:00

About this workshop

The role of the Business Analyst is changing fast. With the rise of generative AI, BA work will not be the same anymore, from how you analyse the current state to how you manage requirements and design solutions. This full-day training gives you the skills and confidence to make AI part of your daily practice.

We begin with practical prompting techniques to get the best out of AI tools, then move into concrete exercises showing how AI can boost productivity, sharpen your analysis, and support collaboration across the BA workflow. In the afternoon, you’ll take it a step further by creating your own CustomGPTs, tailored to your specific challenges as a BA.

This training is interactive, demo-driven, and built on real cases. No theory, only practices you can immediately put into action. You’ll leave with ready-to-use prompts, tested workflows, and a clear vision of how AI will transform your role as a Business Analyst.

  • Generative AI is changing the BA role and daily tasks
  • Practical prompting frameworks and tips to get better results
  • AI across the BA lifecycle: current state analysis, requirements, and design
  • Recognize risks and limits of AI, including hallucinations and governance
  • Compare ChatGPT and Copilot in practice, and understand where each fits best
  • Design and test your own CustomGPTs for BA work

Who is this for?

Please note

Bring your laptop for this hands-on training. This training can be followed using either ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot. Both tools work, but in practice, we see that ChatGPT delivers better results.
