Data is not just ubiquitous in the business environment; it has evolved into a strategic asset for organizations seeking a competitive edge. With the proliferation of computing power, widespread cloud infrastructure, affordable storage solutions, and the universal availability of data from various sources, organizations are now in a prime position to enhance and extend their analytical capabilities. Analytics initiatives have become standard practice, but the recent integration of AI capabilities offers a new dimension to this landscape. To be at the forefront of supporting data analytics initiatives, Business Analysts must now embrace upskilling that includes not only classic 'BA tools' but also the integration of AI into their skill set. This session will explore how BAs can leverage AI and classic analysis tools to empower their role in data analytics initiatives.
 

KEY FOCUS AREAS

• How LLMs can assist BAs to jump-start elicitation of research questions and hypotheses.
• How BAs can use AI to analyze the structure of datasets and surface interesting hidden insights for further investigation
• How AI can assist analysts on demand with drafting complex SQL queries and Excel formulas to manipulate and analyze data.
• How AI can offer conversational support for questions that can be answered through data analytics techniques
• How AI can accelerate creation of exploratory data visualizations and dashboards by BAs
