Every year, millions of dollars are wasted on failed projects. One of the top reasons for these failures is attributed to the lack of alignment to strategy.

I am Laura Paton, founder and CEO of ba.academy a provider of online on-demand professional training and coaching for project professionals looking to improve their knowledge and delivery of business analysis. I have been a working practitioner in the project space for over 30 years...yes 30! Over the course of this time frame, I have seen a huge evolution of the business analysis profession. I have worked across many different industries and contributed to projects of various sizes and complexities. It is the longevity in the space and variety of situations I have worked through that allows me the opportunity to bring an array of real-life project experiences into the classroom.
An Industry Thought Leader...
My most unique experience has been leading the development efforts of some of the top business analysis standards in use across the world today!
I have served in these roles:
* Chair/author for The PMI Guide to Business Analysis

Organizations with high alignment of their business analysis work
to their organization’s strategic initiatives
are nearly twice as likely to be successful in implementing
their strategies (88% versus 48% with low maturity).
