The Business Analyst role is more than:

• Being a business expert, or …..
• Extracting requirements, or ….
• Documenting what stakeholders say they need done on projects.

As the BA profession evolves, it seems easier to define what role we don’t want to play than what our role should be.

Most BAs would prefer to be seen as valued problem-solvers and trusted advisors to both business and IT stakeholders.

This presentation explores the need for Business Analysts to work towards a management consultant role and how to realistically get there.

When finished with this presentation,their goal is for you to:

• Explain the Management Consulting T.I.P.
• Identify 3 types of consultants and how they use influence and power.
• Describe how to be an effective management consultant to help the organizational change.
