In an era of exponential change, most organisations are trapped in a cycle of countless reorganisations. As Business Analysts, we see the symptoms every day: increasing complexity, misaligned requirements, and teams that suffer more from organisational friction than technical debt. We often try to optimize processes, but if the underlying structure is flawed, we are simply "paving the cow path."

Jan de Vries challenges the BA community to look deeper. Is it possible to stop the endless cycle of restructuring and move directly to a future-proof state? What if we could design one final transition that builds adaptability into the organisation’s DNA?

In this highly interactive session, Jan moves beyond standard process modelling to apply two powerful analytical lenses:

Appreciative Inquiry: We will use a "strengths-based" analysis to identify peak performance moments. Instead of just gap analysis, we will distill the elements of your "ultimate organisation" from existing success stories.

First Principle Thinking: We will strip away legacy assumptions and "best practices" to identify the fundamental truths of an organisation. By boiling the system down to its core components, we can reason upward to build a more resilient structure.
