Our vision is to be a trusted and respected organisation in Ireland where professionals, businesses, and industries work together to promote and advance the discipline of business analysis on behalf of the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA®).

We pursue this vision through our mission: to actively provide resources, education, and a collaborative platform for continuous learning, enabling individuals and organisations to achieve outstanding business outcomes.

We are committed to fostering ongoing professional development and supporting certification in alignment with the recognised standards and best practices of Business Analysis.

IIBA 2025 Chapter of the Year
Get Involved!

The IIBA® Ireland Chapter is the membership organisation for business analysts in Ireland and is run entirely by volunteers. We're proud to be an independent body, run by business analysts for business analysts. We organise regular events, where you get to hear great speakers and make connections with other business analysts. 

We are a vibrant community that is growing all the time, but we can't wait for more people to get involved. We're always looking for volunteers, who can give as much or as little time as they can.

You can reach out to us via the Contact Us section or on LinkedIn with any questions, for guidance on certifications, to volunteer or to just say hello to us. Attend one of our amazing events to grow your knowledge and insight into the world of Business Analysis.
