Partners
IIBA UK – The International Institute of Business Analysis, UK Chapter

IIBA UK is the UK arm of IIBA®, the International Institute of Business Analysis. We’re here to help the UK business analysis community grow, and to provide opportunities for individual business analysts to start conversations with each other, improve their professional practice and develop their careers. The most important way we do this is by running knowledge sharing and networking events.

You can get into most of our events without being a member, but being a member is extremely cost-effective. Don’t forget to take out international membership of our parent organisation as well as IIBA UK itself.

Our website and social media presence is designed to provide a hub for collaboration and communication among the UK BA community. We are rolling out new features on a continuous basis, so check back here often, and get in touch if there’s something you’d like to see here.

We’re a non-profit organisation run entirely by volunteers. We all work as business analysts in our “day jobs”. Please get in touch if you’d like to help with organising events, or if you have any other ideas that would help towards our aims.

We help organisations who are building BA Communities of Practice or Centres of Excellence by putting them in touch with each other and encouraging them to share their experiences.
