Transformational leaders, bosses, coaches, and teachers empower others to seek leadership opportunities, regardless of their role or title. While some people are innately drawn to leadership positions, many aren’t born great leaders and need to develop skills through opportunity and experience.

Even the most experienced strategy teams fail at some point in developing effective planning strategies. But to save time and money, it’s key to have strong planning and organising skills to design actionable plans.

One of the constant urban-myths about the Business Analyst role is the common assumption/assertion (invariably by non-BAs) that all we do is ‘run meetings’. I’ve heard this a few times during my career and it really exercises me. There is a lot more to the BA role than that; in fact there is a lot more to running meetings!

You start with end in mind and work backwards to establish the steps that you need to complete that will take you from A to B. It’s something that most of us will have done at some point in our lives. If you want to move house, refit a bathroom or board a plane, you have to work out what you need to do and then the steps required to do it. This is a great example of tactical planning and we do it every day.
