Each week, the IIBA South African chapter hosts their exciting Lean Coffee Sessions. These gatherings are a platform where interested individuals and professionals can delve into diverse aspects of business analysis.

The sessions are built around the lean coffee format which is a structured, but agenda-less meeting. Attendees are encouraged to bring their topics of interest to the table, fostering a lively discussion that ranges from latest industry trends and pressing challenges, to tried and true practices in business analysis. With this attendee-led setup of the sessions, every week promises new, pertinent, and engaging conversations.
