The IIBA^® Global Tour provides an important opportunity for the international staff to connect with you at local events and engage the community. Following the successful 2015 tour, IIBA has launched a follow-up tour in 2016.  

 

Thank you to all of the Chapters that have requested participation, presentations and events in your local communities. We are excited to be able to join and support your efforts. 

 

Recently, the IIBA Senior Leadership Team traveled to India. During their time, IIBA had the opportunity to participate in the very successful BA Convention. IIBA met with representatives from the local Chapter; celebrated the launch of a new MOU; and connected with practitioners and stakeholders from across the BA community. In addition, IIBA met with numerous corporations, including Accenture, IBM, Microsoft, Forrester, CGI and UST Global to discuss the growing demand for business analysts across India. 

 

Here are some of the recent highlights from our tour stop in India.
