I’ve always been intrigued by the concept of cognitive bias for the simple reason that it exposes the flaws in one’s thinking and ability to make sound decisions. Every analyst, and in fact everyone, stands to benefit from understanding what cognitive biases are so they can be kept to a minimum or spotted when interacting with others.

If you are meeting or contacting stakeholders for the first time and trying to understand their world, you need structure. By structure, I mean a framework of questions to channel the direction of the conversation or requirements elicitation. I was invited to prepare a business process documentation for a client who was based in another country. Traveling to meet the client was not an option. Though a Skype call could have helped, I didn’t want to go in blind.

If you’re a manager in charge of a business analyst team or are a part of any team in charge of achieving key business objectives, this article discusses useful insights on how you can trigger and sustain critical thinking in the team. Imagine you’re in a meeting. You present a business analysis plan and ask your team members to share their thoughts. Now, imagine two situations. In the first one, everyone says “that’s great, boss!” They nod and approve of everything you say.

While there’s nothing like having some experience under your belt, Business Process Management (BPM) certifications can aid analysts in some key ways: they serve as concrete evidence of business process management knowledge; offer the opportunity to learn new concepts /best practices; and benefit from the experience of trainers/mentors. While some of these certifications are offered by professional organizations, others have been put together by software vendors.

How can BAs ensure requirements are practical and in line with the strategy/capabilities of the business? The business architecture offers a starting point. Study after study shows that when CEOs discuss strategy, most employees don’t get it. When plans and the overarching vision don’t translate into actionable objectives, business performance deteriorates.

Most people think they know what they’re good at. They are usually wrong. More often, people know what they’re not good at — and even then more people are wrong than right — Peter F. Drucker Peter Drucker emphasized the need for professionals to know themselves in order to manage themselves through feedback analysis. To perform effectively, people need to know and understand themselves.

A rare post today. It looks a little further out into the future than I normally tend to. It attempts to simplify a topic that has more than it’s share of coolness, confusion and complexity. While the phrase Artificial Intelligence has been around since the first human wondered if she could go further if she had access to entities with inorganic intelligence, it truly jumped the shark in 2016.

The entire list of videos is well worth watching, prioritize the individual ones: Beneficial AI 2017. This is not the future, it is Nov 2017. The rapid pace of innovation and the constantly exploding collection of possibilities is a major contributor to the fun we all have in digital jobs.

Over the last couple years, I’ve spent an increasing amount of time diving into the possibilities Deep Learning (DL) offers in terms of what we can do with Artificial Intelligence (AI). Some of these possibilities have already been realized (more on this later in the post). And, I could not be more excited to see them out in the world. Through it all, I’ve felt there are a handful of breath-taking realities that most people are not grasping when it comes to an AI-Powered world.

You take advantage of them by living in 2017! The very best analysts distill, rather than dilute. The very best analysts focus, when most will tend to gather. The very best analysts are display critical thinking, rather than giving into what’s asked. The very best analysts are comfortable operating with ambiguity and incompleteness, while all others chase perfection in implementation / processing / reports.

Ten years, and the 944,357 words, are proof that I love purposeful data, collecting it, pouring smart strategies into analyzing it, and using the insights identified to transform organizations. In the quest for that last important bit, I am insanely obsessive about 1. simplification and 2. pressing the right emotional buttons.

Most of my comments about artificial intelligence in December, 2015 still hold true. But there are a few points I’d like to add, reiterate or amplify. As I wrote back then in a post about the connection between machine learning and the rest of AI , It is my opinion that most things called “intelligence” — natural and artificial alike — have a great deal to do with pattern recognition and response. Accordingly, it can be reasonable to equate machine learning and AI.
