Human Resources is key to running a successful organization.  It’s typically a top cost among expenses.  How do business analysis skills apply to Human Resources?  Kris Tierney joins us from the Human Resources Professionals Association (HRPA), which has partnered with The International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA) to offer the “Radical HR: Upskilling from Service Provider to Solution Expert” program.   During our chat with Kris, we talk about Human Resources (HR) for business analysts to understand the business domain.  To underscore the importance of HR, one of our livestream viewers, Tracy Kincaid-Mielak commented “You can’t have a business without the people so people should be your primary focus”.  The certificate program helps HR professionals learn “how to speak the language of the business”.  Using the foundations of business analysis, participants elevate their ability to positively impact their organizations by conducting comprehensive needs analysis and creating evidence-based solutions.   For information on the certificate program, visit https://mx.hrpa.ca/pages/hrpa-meeting...    To learn more about the Human Resources Professionals Association (HRPA), visit https://www.hrpa.ca    Business Analysis Live is hosted by:  Susan Moore, Community Engagement Manager at IIBA  Scott Bennett, Manager, Business Analysis at IIBA   Do you have questions about this topic or have an idea for a different topic?
