Where does the business analyst fit in a modern, flow-focused organisation, and what happens to that role when artificial intelligence starts reshuffling the deck?
Flight Levels, created by Klaus Leopold, is a model for understanding how work flows through an organisation from strategy, to coordination, to delivery. Rather than focusing on job titles or org charts, it helps organisations connect these different levels of work so that value moves more effectively from idea to outcome.
In that context, the business analyst is not confined to a predefined role. Instead, they become a high-impact contributor wherever clarity, alignment to customer needs, and smart coordination are needed most.
And then comes the provocative part. If AI can already write user stories, summarise meetings, structure information, and draft requirements in seconds, do we still need the traditional business analyst at all? Or does this simply raise the bar, creating space for a more valuable business analyst who connects strategy to execution, challenges assumptions, and improves flow where it matters most?
View the recorded webinar to explore how the business analyst role evolves in a flow-based organisation, where it creates the most leverage, and how Flight Levels can help turn business analysis work into a visible driver of business agility and real organisational impact.
