While BAs often focus on requirements, processes, and solutions, some of the most valuable contributions happen “off the ball”—through strategic thinking, influence, and decision-making. In this session, attendees will explore how core BA skills connect to real-world scenarios, including game theory and problem-solving techniques such as KPDH, the Three Doors problem, and the Prisoner’s Dilemma.

Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how analytical thinking supports better decision-making and delivery outcomes. The session will also examine concepts like “fit, form, and function,” connecting them to successful outcomes—much like producing a box office hit.

Join us at AGM 2026 to expand your perspective, strengthen your strategic mindset, and discover how BA skills can be applied in broader and more innovative ways.
