The Business Analysis Mindset

International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA)
About this episode

Many business analysis professionals emphasize learning the tools, techniques and tasks that make up the daily work of business analysis. Despite that, organizations still report that projects are not always delivering the necessary outcomes. So what's missing? The business analysis mindset. What is the business analysis mindset, you ask? In this episode, Scott and Susan talk to The Brazilian BA, Fabricio Laguna, who talks and writes about the mindset and how it is applied. Hint: the business analysis mindset is not just limited to business analysis professionals but can be - should be - incorporated into thinking across the entire organization!
