How Might Business Analysts Think Like Entrepreneurs with AI?

Nov 13, 2026 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

About the Session

What happens when a Business Analyst begins to think not only as an analyst, but also as an entrepreneur?

Business Analysts are traditionally skilled at understanding problems, analysing needs and connecting business requirements with solutions. Entrepreneurial thinking adds another dimension: recognising opportunities, challenging assumptions, experimenting with possibilities and focusing on how ideas can create meaningful value.

In this session, Dr David Ang, PBM will bring his business leadership and entrepreneurial perspective to explore how Business Analysts can broaden the way they approach opportunities, innovation and value creation in an increasingly AI-enabled business environment.

Rather than viewing AI simply as another technology tool, the session will encourage participants to consider how entrepreneurial thinking, Business Analysis and AI can come together to identify opportunities and translate ideas into practical business outcomes.

What We’ll Explore

Participants will explore:

How Business Analysts can develop a more entrepreneurial mindset
Moving beyond identifying problems to recognising business opportunities
Connecting Business Analysis with innovation and value creation
How AI can support exploration, analysis and new ways of approaching business opportunities
Balancing technology with business judgement and human decision-making
Moving from ideas and insights towards practical action

I recommend“What We’ll Explore” rather than “Key Takeaways” until Dr David Ang confirms his presentation content. This avoids presenting our proposed themes as commitments from the speaker.
