The BHBIA is delighted to announce the publication of its Skills Framework in May 2023 as part of the organisation's evolving Learning and Development strategy pillar. 

Supporting You and Your Organisation

Whether you are just starting your Business Insights career, have a good idea of your career aspirations, or a leading figure exploring opportunities as they come, the Skills Framework provides a view of UK Business Insights roles and your possible pathways through them, throughout your career.

If you are working in a domain area you love, the Skills Framework may inspire and inform your plan to develop your depth of knowledge and expertise over time.

Similarly, if you are interested in broadening you experience, the Skills Framework is a guide to knowledge or skills you may need in other domain areas so you can look or ask for relevant Learning and Development opportunities.

The pathways may not even be for your own benefit. Commonly as careers progress, you’ll be responsible for others’ development, so the Skills Framework can be your guide to building and supporting your teams.
