2 The Idea In 2011, IIBA supported the first (SIG) for the Pharma/Biotech industry. After the exceptional feedback and results this group has achieved, IIBA is expanding the SIG model to other industries starting with Financial Services. After the recent financial collapse and a dramatic increase in regulations, the business analyst is more valuable to companies than ever before. In addition, these changes have increased the demand for solid business analysts with the ability to creatively and methodically address external needs within their projects.
