From Strategy to Business Results: The BABOK Guide V3 Framework
Speaker: Michele Maritato, IIBA® Director, Partner @PMProgetti
Some companies are good at defining their strategy, but very few can do it properly and even less have the ability to deliver the strategy to producing business results. Problems arise when companies show gaps between the business and the delivery areas.
Business Analysis is a discipline that helps enterprises to bridge these gaps, both vertically (strategy, portfolio, program, project and operation) and horizontally (organizational, functional boundaries). And the Babok Guide V3.0 is the reference framework that support the application of Business Analysis in the organization at all levels, defining tasks, competencies, tools and techniques, and perspectives.
The purpose of this presentation is to show through researches and case studies on how the Babok Guide V3.0 can support enterprises to define the strategy, to align the strategy at Portfolio, Program, Project and Operation level, as well as to define roles and collaboration models that establish and enforce the continuous alignment between the business and delivery areas of an organization: in the ends only business results count.
A perfect strategy without execution and tracking: a useless exercise. How the business analysis could help
Speaker: Angelo Pansini, Strategy Director Land & Naval Systems Division @ Selex ES, a Finmeccanica Company
Strategy needs to pass several and difficult stress tests before being defined as effective. Just a couple of examples: “Is our strategy based on a true source of competitive advantage ?” “Is our strategy granular enough about where we compete ?”.
No doubt, crucial questions, but I believe that even the best of possible strategies is a useless exercise without a clear implementation and tracking plan, something enabling us to comply with the following stress test: “Have we translate our strategy into a doable and effective action plan ?
In other terms in implementing the company strategy, it’s imperative to define clearly what we are moving from and where we are moving to with respect to our company’s organization, resources and capabilities.
Business analysis and modelling are key toolsets for connecting the “from to where”dots. The presentation is aimed at providing evidences and examples demonstrating this assumption.

Chat&Cash: Can Mobile Payments be Social?
Speaker: Antonella Verzini, Head of Issuing and Acquiring Unit at Banco Popolare
We live in a world that is changing faster and faster, where people are always connected and experiencing a new concept of being social.
How could a bank better fit into such scenario? What kind of new Business Needs are waiting to be faced and addressed? What opportunities can be kept?
While trying to get an answer to these questions Banco Popolare implemented a new strategy to match a core banking model with a different way to deliver value to the bank and the open community at the same time.
Analysis of the current situation, definition of the target future state, assessment of risks in the forecasted solution and definition of the change strategy to implement such solution minimising identified risks: these are examples of how Business Analysis supported Banco Popolare in the generation of innovative products.
