Leading from the middle, pushing boundaries beyond requirements engineering, and aiming to delight our customers – the modern analyst is curious, confident, and creative:

  • Creative – enabling collaboration to find options and solutions
  • Confident – leading from the middle, building trust, influencing broadly, and challenging constructively
  • Curious – asking why and wondering how, open minded, flexible and outcome driven, learning from other perspectives to see what others don’t

If you want to learn about being T-shaped, and how it can help you develop as an analyst, watch the webinar recording to learn more.
