I am currently at the Building Business Capabilities Conference (sponsored by the International Institute of Business Analysts).  I’ll  try to cover some of the highlights in individual posts, but first I want to share some overall impressions.

This is a good, mid sized conference.  There are more than 1,400 attendees, coming from more than 30 countries and 48 states.  (note – still trying to figure out the missing state  – I have met attendees from Hawaii and Idaho, so I am guessing Alaska and Montana)

I understand that until it was called the “Business Rules Conference” until 2010 when IIBA joined in and expanded the scope of the conference.

There are 8 simultaneous breakout sessions following “themes”

• Business Architecture
• Business Portfolio Management
• Leadership
• Business Strategy and Transformation
• Analysis and Design
• Agile
• Techniques
• The Way Forward

Sometimes it is difficult to choose which session to go to, so far all the sessions I have gone to have been interesting and worthwhile.

More to come soon.
